Please don't necro

probably saw them in your signature and thought it was still active

But it says "retired".... doesn't that mean no one is supposed to look at it....?

What? Please explain in more detail and what is necro?

I am not doing that. If I understand what you mean.

Necroposting is where you comment on a post that has NOT(caps for emphasis) been replied to within the last month

sorry i didn't know that you were uniformed about this, I assumed that since you seemed like a regular from the date you joined the forum

If someone posted something today (July 26), if no one replies to it for the next month, then any post on August 26 will be considered necropost

August 26 and any date onward

And what will it do.

IF you necropost on a thread, then the moderators will close the thread (unless special circumstances)

I really would like for my idea threads to be kept open, in case something arises

Im really sorry.

Why that stupid rule?

Becuase if the idea wasn't commented on, then people assume the idea was bad. Good ideas would keep on being commented by others

Good ideas would stay on the front page, and the bad ideas would not see the front page. People comment to make sure those threads come to the front of the suggestions page

commenting so that your post makes it back to the front of the page is called "bumping"

Thanks

Ask a mod to open it Ethan
