Have you ever accidentally necroposted?

unless making fun of the people who do after they do it counts

not on purpose but I sometimes get confused when there is couple of new comments on thread and I enter it thinking its new thread only to realize its really old and be like oops * quietly leaves thread*

I don't usually post a lot, and when I'm in the mood of posting (like right now) I usually go and check the recent threads (maybe I've posted on a resurrected thread? Idk). But, knowing myself, I think I may be prone to be the one to resurrect a thread on rare occasion, if the thing being talked about is interesting enough for me to forget to check the date.

Yup, in my early days I was looking for an answer to something, did a search and an old thread came up, and I hadn't even considered looking at the date, I was just happy for an answer, and I was soon "reprimanded" over the fact I'd "necroposted", and I had no idea even what that meant.
The reprimander was pretty rude about it, and expected everyone to be as informed as he/she was.
There were a few choice words that went around my head as to how to respond, but I refrained from biting and let it go feeling just a bit attacked and injured.
Early learning days!

Yep. I think it's stupid that I have to create a new post on the same topic just to express my view. The topic may have been created some time ago, but it might still have relevance. I prefer recycling. Plus, my blunt opinion is that "necroposting" is just an excuse to moderate people and exercise authority.

It's really easy to do if you get to a thread by googling a particular question, and just don't notice that it was old.

I don't think it counts if it's your own thread...

Other than that, I don't think I've done the necroing, but I have posted in threads that were necroed by someone else. Sometimes they'e interesting topics, so why wouldn't you want to join the discussion if it becomes active again?

It's a stupid rule.

Same as Sharonia - so often, I'll see a 'recent' thread that looks like an interesting and then, I see the date pop up for the first post. I do try to pay attention and avoid it, but I'm sure I've done it without realising.

I can see the reason for it - not reviving threads that are no longer relevant, or reigniting a controversy that finally died, but some threads deserve to be brought back.

I think I have once or twice when someone else has commented on an old thread and in my haste I've forgotten to check the date of the original post before replying.
