To necro or not to necro, that is the question

[Iscah]

A thread on, "will we ever be able to visit other data centers?" was perfectly appropriate to necro when it was announced we'd be getting that feature at Fanfest. Same with "Will we ever get an Oceania data center?"

I don't see a point in raising an old thread asking "can/will we get X?" just to say "yes we got X!"

It's a bit different if it's an ongoing discussion with current members of the forum, but if it's an old discussion with people that aren't here any more, it makes more sense to start a new thread on the announcement and current existence of X.

It's a fine line between the two, of course, but I feel like wishing for something and discussing the finished product aren't quite the same ongoing discussion. It partly depends on the title of the thread, too.
