the whole idea of 'Necroing' is the cancer that killed forums

This

Absolutely THIS

>more people join from the front page, everyone has a good time
>post in a month old thread on any other site
>warned/banned

That explains a lot. I guess forum mods are bigger faggots than I thought

Who the fuck even came up with it? Why is it that for some reason all forum mods on all boards are against it when literally all users don't care?

This. I can go to a slow board like /out/ or /cm/ and (((necro))) a 6-month or even year-old thread and no one cares. If it doesn't bother us and we're this autistic, how autistic are these forum users?

>how autistic are these forum users?
well they're still using forums, so that should clue you in a little bit

>forums that get mad when you "necro" old threads

this is basically how you can tell whether a forum is good or shitty.

Someone please explain to me why this is such a big problem for most forums?

Forums are somehow more autistic than imageboards

Use the catalog.

>admins and mods of forums are just power tripping morons
>forums die out
makes you wonder

What's the problem if you add something interesting? Forums I was on explicitly prohibited only shitpost-tier necroing
