It's an opinion from USENET.
People get upset when old threads are bumped and it has been argued that this is no better than scribbling on the caves at Lascaux.

Yeah, except this is the internet, not the history of early man. My philosophy is as long as the post is relevant to the topic, I don't care how old the thread is.

You can ask the mods to unlock a topic if you really want to post in it.

That was your edited version of a come-back? Lol, what was the original?

This was in config.example.php
define('NECRO_BUMP_TIME', 52 * 604800); // Topics older than this may not be bumped by non-mods. Fuckers.
