More specifically, no one cares about necro-ing when it's on-topic in a slow subforum. Lore is probably one of the slowest subforums. The reason people dislike the necro-ing that happens in GenDisc is because it's one or more of:
a) off topic
b) resurrecting obsolete information which will then affect people searching for a current answer
or c) intentionally being done to bury active topics.

This. Plus the Lore subforum here MOSTLY gets really good discussions, and they can get buried over time. Besides, those questions can still be asked by people nowadays, so every time they get necro'd, somebody learns something new.
