What drives people to be like this?

Any power they can get they'll take

Answer the question "what drives people to sit for 5+ hours per day and religiously moderate a random autistic shithole" and you'll have your answer

What's the problem with necroposting?
Adrian Mitchell
Literally none and if it was truly a problem the head admin could've just make them auto-lock after X amount of months. The reason they used to do that is literally just powertripping and the fact that all the other posters just slurped their cum and panopticoned themselves to not do this arbitrary rule that doesn't accomplish anything doesn't help either. It's shit like this that drove me away from traditional forums into this place and thank god that they died 4-5 years ago. Forums were a mistake

This happens all the fucking time, forum moderators are retarded people.

Jack Reed
We are actually approaching an internet where facebook is dying so I wouldn't worry about anything. Retards go to Instagram and the rest continue to have their autistic communities.

Its worse when you're trying to look up technical issues.

old internet was shitty but at least it was a giant experiment
Ryan Mitchell
My only guess is that the original poster is not around anymore or already got their answer? Kinda unfair for everyone else having similar questions or problems if that was the case. Maybe they used to be notified of every post they get in their old threads? Could necroposting lead to threads being derailed after questions were already answered? I'm not really sure, but I know a lot of other boards have that rule.
Austin Wood
you forgot the part where after getting locked for necroposting and opening a new thread, some asshole comes to you and tells you to use the search function next time because "that was already answered"

The emphasis is on "less".
Jonathan Lewis
I made the switch from forums to Sup Forums 13 years ago. I don't even recognize the internet outside anymore. If I can't get an answer on Sup Forums I don't even know what to look for anymore.

Forums are still the only good and reliable resource for anything that isn't completely mainstream.
Try googling anything remotely in the periphery and you will still find your answer there 99% of the time.
Social media is mostly useful for entertainment.
Joseph Morris
There is littererly nothing wrong with necroposting.

It depends on the post. If you have some faggot just posting shit like "Yeah, I agree" in old threads it's worthless and can bump newer threads off. But if it's something like in the OP, where the post in question contributes to the topic at hand and can obviously still get a valid answer that may solve the problem for others, where the fuck is the problem?

Absolutely ludicrous, if Sup Forums doesn't have the answer no one has the answer.

Literally no reason to us shit hosting sites like photobucket these days so they gotta nickel and dime the few idiots who use it to stave off their demise
Colton Rivera
>>can't build an online persona
You can, alright. You don't even need to have to have a name or a tripcode. You can just spam a bunch of shit ad nauseam (e.g. Barneyfag)
>>nobody knows who is who
>>doesn't require any registration at all
Understandable, because this is an anonymous image board, albeit the former point can be violated in various ways (e.g. generals).
>>mods don't normally post as mods and are rarely powertripping
They're slow and ineffectual though. If they don't approve of something all of a sudden, you'd only know it from deletions and bans.
>>most boards outside of Sup Forums and Sup Forums are too obscure for turbonormies
Kinda right, but it doesn't mean that the many of those boards are actually good.
>>due to filthy crossposters and karmawhores reddit will gladly take blame for every kind of shit
This place still gets the blame sometimes.
>>threads get deleted regularly
Sometimes not soon enough, but I guess it happens anyway!
>>data is nigh useless so you can't really sell it due to a high rate of piracy
I don't know how this shit works and if it is truly absent from Sup Forums so no comment.
