You'll regret revealing the spoiler tag - just warning you now.

9/10 forumites choose necroposting over necrophilia.

On a slightly more grave note, I agree with those who have said that necroposting can add context to the forum.
Eeeek, I’ve been on the forum for 10 years!

It could mostly be solved by making the dates the same font size as the regular text.

I voted yes mainly because of one recent necropost.  It was a question about moving to the SF Bay Area.  I didn’t notice it was an old post until @Dicey pointed it out.  But it was a superfund post to read for me because in 2018, I had no clue I’d move to the Bay Area let alone become a Marin girl as referenced in the post kind of in a joking way, but still very amusing.

I like necroposts. Especially if they are updates from the OP to let us know the outcome of their situation or add more info. But, as mentioned above somewhere, some of us (well...me) had deleted a bunch of our former posts for privacy reasons so re-reading the original can be a bit disjointed.

I am firmly anti-necro publicly, but in private I really don’t mind a little necropost now and again.  Should I be worried?

Only if you tell anyone you're a "closeted necro".

I'm dead set against them.

(j/k  I find them annoying sometimes when it's a dated/date-specific question, but fine others.)

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
