06' Master Race.

How are we supposed to deal with this? Just report them? PM a mod? The reason I'm asking is because the last few days there has been a large amount of it that I've noticed.

PM a mod/report.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

Necro-bumping is actually the only thing I've been banned for I think =/

Silly me.

I think it means when you comment on a very old/dead thread in order to "bump" it to the top of the forum for everyone to see.Im not entirely sure so correct me if I'm wrong.

Come on over to Moving Up for your primary help and Q&A source.

Necro-bumping? What in the world is that?! Bumping a dead person's thread or something? Someone tell me please.

EDIT

I've never necro-bumped before but if I have a suggestions thread and I think of a suggestion that is appropriate to that thread then I put it in the OP and leave an update so people know. Otherwise, if a thread's dead then that's gotta be accepted.

I can't wait for the day that this thread is necrobumped.

It's impossible to necro-bump. Threads are archived after two weeks with no new posts or something.

OP: "So guys what do you think of the matter?"

Just kidding, to be honest I actually don't have a problem if the thread has been pushed to the back because of spam threads (OMG DESTINY SECRETS LOL) and actually still has discussion value, otherwise if it's an old thread that I never want to see again then we have a problem.

There's a fine line between necroposting and adding to an already existing conversation instead of starting a new one.

Hi there! be sure to click that homepage link!

Just report them of course...

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

But aren't we supposed to use the search bar, rather than making a new thread?

There is a difference between reviving an older conversation by replying in an on topic fashion and resurrecting an old thread with a response of "lol".

This..riddles me...because I had "continued" some discussions because I had forgotten the thread existed and I have been hit with warnings for necro-bumping....so.....I mean obviously a one-liner response is bumping but I've replied on topic and still hit with it.
