Winning!

Like I said, do you. I'm done having a completely pointless argument with you because you want to be offended. Ta-ta, dear sir. I'll argue with you on some other thread.

You're right, it is pointless. Literally. I don't think you even have an argument anymore based on what you are saying. And if you think I am offended you are mistaken. The only thing bothering me right now is playing Triple Triad against Elaisse, that and how long it's taking mods to address these necros.

I can't speak for others, but the original few folks that I revived with, we've all posted a comment that obviously is looking for discussion. Current threads are just different rehashes of the same thing...not that it's a bad thing, but I know I personally wanted to have different discussions. Didn't realize that talking about the time you felt a huge sense of accomplishment in the Titan thread was a bad thing. That one, I really wanted to talk about (didn't have time over the weekend to get back to it). I've already named my example elsewhere. Yes, I made a comment about the necro war.... but it's funny that you are focusing on a one-line sentence, instead of the actual meat of the comments that I made in there.

If you really wanted to discuss such things why not simply consolidate them into a single thread, as has been stated already? That would not involve spam, not involve bumping dead threads, and can be positive in reception. Instead you tried it the least optimal way.

Because, as I said, when I see people being rude and blatantly incorrect I enjoy calling them out on it. I see you and a couple others doing just that.

Maybe if you took a step back and realized how none of this matters even a little you'd see how you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Clearly you have things wrong. I in no way have been rude at any point here, unless you consider me telling it like it is rude. Also the expression you keep using is actually more of an accurate statement towards the pile of necro'd threads. 1 or 2, not a big deal. 3 or 4, that's the molehill. As many as we have so far? Mountain. Can you blame me for trying to keep it from growing anymore than it has? Me and the others equally concerned about the flood of dead threads.

snip.

As I asked someone else making the same complaints though - why? Why are you concerned? What adverse effect is this having on you? I just don't see any.

Also, on a side note, do you honestly think a master thread covering even just the topics discussed so far in some of these necro threads would be possible? How could that work? There is no unified topic instead it's just a mess of jokes/questions/suggestions that are related literally only by the time frame in which they were posted.

I think it's rude to waltz into a thread that was on-topic and derail it into this argument. I think it's rude to call people trolls for posting in topics about things they're interested in. I think it's rude to act like you have some sort of authority, moral or otherwise, over other forum members. In my eyes you are guilty of all of those things.

The concern is as Momomi pointed out: current threads are being drowned out by old threads unnecessarily. Spam is spam, and anyone that actually likes coming to the forums to see what's up and discuss things will have a hard time doing so when they have to dig through a pile of spam to do it.

The master thread's topic could be anything. Fact of the matter is (at least some of) the necros were done to revive multiple threads for the sake of amusement, regardless of the kind of amusement. Rather than simply make a thread with a positive topic or 2, several threads were revived. This is identical to creating several new threads, spam no matter how you look at it, and that has the opposite effect of what some like Kaiva were hoping to achieve. Sure some find it amusing, but not all.

As for waltzing in and derailing a topic, there was no topic to derail, unless it was of this necromancy game. It's called necroing for a reason... The thread was dead, should've stayed that way. Some of the threads necro'd as of late can still have relevance and those are the threads I did not report anyone in. Threads like this one and the other with a completely outdated topic that should not be revived on the other hand... And then there is the pattern of the fact this recent string of necros isn't going to end. That is why I voiced my concern. You may think me rude for doing this if you like, but frankly spam itself is rude in its own way, intentional or not. Also I never once implied I have authority over anyone, that's just an assumption you made in my attempt to call out what is truly wrong with all these necros. I also did not call trolling without merit, as the necroing itself has lead into that happening when some of us voiced concern over all the necroing in an attempt to defend it.

You've gotten to the point of repeating the same things over and over again just worded differently so I'm going to call this a lost cause. I hope one day you see logic.

The one point that I will repeat myself on is the actual impact of this "spam" - there is none. You scroll down a bit lower or click on the page 2 button. If you're so concerned with people being able to come to the forums to have discussions I would think you would know that.

Cheers.

I could say the same about you, but glad to hear we will not continue this pointless discussion. It is not fruitful for either of us.

This thread's OP made me smile - as I sit here with an entire week off of work with no plans, and food and drink soon to be stocked up, I am all ready for a week of gaming and relaxation! It makes me sad to see a jesty thread turned into yet another senseless and endless argument above.

If it wasn't but one of many in a string of necros it wouldn't be such a big deal. This thread just fell victim to a group of people partaking in a necro spree, and while it happened 5 years ago and is no longer relevant it can indeed have a positive impact on people the way it did with you. I mean it's marriage and enjoying gaming happening to someone so it can definitely be a pick-me-up of sorts. My condolences on having to see the farce of a circumstance that brought it back, for I wish it was a better circumstance too.
