I thought I wouldn't need to post an official policy on necroposting, but evidently I was mistaken.

Basically, do not revive topics older than a couple of months unless you have something relevant to say.
Something relevant includes:
  • Adding to the discussion with a problem of your own.
  • Solving someone else's problem (unless the topic is very old, in which case, consider it dead).
  • Posting some sort of new findings relating to the topic at hand.

Something relevant does not include:
  • Complimenting someone on work that they posted months (or even years) prior.
  • Commenting on something or someone for no obvious reason.
  • Advertising your mod.
  • Asking for help in a completely unrelated topic.
  • Trying to strike up a conversation.
  • Trying to chat up any of the forum members.
  • Discussing the latest sandwich fillings.
  • I could go on, you know...

Hopefully, you get the idea. If you extensively necropost, I will authorise the moderators to raise your warning level. Also, you will have this on your conscience:
