Plenty of topics can be far older than 6 months and still have relevancy based on new information that is suppled well after the topic concluded its lifespan at the time. Also see the trillion hrothgar/Viera threads that would be infinitely more useful being condensed to a mega thread and is a constant relevant topic, even if it is only brought to the forefront of discussion whenever something is released that excludes them.

Mega-threads are definitely the win-win for both devs and forum goers, but villifying necroing threads if there's relevant discussion to be added is kinda counter-productive when its literally the intent of the developers behind how the forum should be used in their eyes.
Honestly cannot win with these forums, look at male Viera thread the amount of times people post to say why is this thread still going(regardless how you feel on the actual point of the thread) add up to pages worth in that very thread.

It is isolated in one singular thread something many people wish would happen across all topics yet it continually gets moaned at for not dying.

People need to choose, singular thread where request for features may never die off or loads of individual threads about your own take on an issue or feature you want.

I prefer 1 singular thread per purpose myself makes it far easier to keep track of but the very forum community itself has to change to make it work.

I mean how many times have you seen an OP with "sorry if this is discussed before", you could check and post in the relevant thread perhaps, no just going to make another one, ok then let's see if your opinion is different from the last one that went on for 30 pages, no, didn't think so.

^ that is this forum, I am accustomed to it so it don't bother me but others aren't.
