Dark0ne Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 There's actually an important lesson in all of this, past spam, past goats and past Daerk's underwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maquissar Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Besides, the matter with the Pipes thread wasn't just that it was spam. It was also thread necromancy. Before it was brought back to life in May 24th,2004, that thread was officially "dead" since October 5th, 2003. CHAPTER IV - Thread NecromancyThread Necromancy is... Reviving a dead thread with something that has no relevance to it. Like "hey cool" (See SPAM) or "that was really helpful, thanks". Please notice the date when there was last a post there. If it was more than 2-3 weeks ago, you can guess that this thread is dead, and unless you have something constructive that will continue the discussion to add, don't bother.(Switch's ALL NEWBIES READ THIS BEFORE POSTING, Penguin Classics, 2003, $9.99) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 There's actually an important lesson in all of this, past spam, past goats and past Daerk's underwear. A lesson? It was Dark0ne who ate all the (banana) pies - is that the one? :lol: *runs, but thinks diversionary tactics may be appropriate* Look, there's a llama over there! *runs and hides* :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesugandalf Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 It was also thread necromancy. @Theta: :lol: :lol: :lol: I don't know if Thread Necromancy applies also to the MEMod public forums, as I think I remember Daerk saying it doesn't in another thread...

Sykotik Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Daerk said: "There is no such thing as Necromancy in the MEMod boards. -- D " But also said: "Welcome to the forums, FireMaster. Just a note, this thread is "dead" in the sense that no-one has posted in it for over a month, and the post that you wrote doesn't really add anything of worth to the thread's content, so it's what we tend to call "Necromancy". Basically the un-needed reviving of a dead thread due to a post with little to no relevant content." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRud216 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 thanx for the above explanations, i must admit that i did not check the last post date.but:okay then, why do modrators or admin lock threads that have been subject to necromancy and spam if bumping them up may attract more attention to them and possibly start something constructive... thanx for the above explanations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDRud216 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 well, just because one person added something irrelevant does not suddenly make it impossible for another person to add something relevant... until you lock it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 The thread was left open for two or three days in which only spam posts were added to it - for me a sufficient reason to lock it. If you like to discuss this further, please do so via other ways of communication (new thread, PM or whatever) - we don't want to interrupt the admin's spam :lol: (wow, this is post no. 1500) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Don't worry, Dark0ne seems sufficiently distracted by the llama :lol: :whistling: And congratulations on reaching the 1500 post milestone B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
