How long do two posts have to be apart for someone to necro? I kinda suck at wording things. 😛 ---

I assume you mean how long for it to be considered a necro? It’s not a set amount of time. It’s just a long time. Over a year would definitely count though. ---

I’ve been necro’d for something that short before however i meant 8 weeks. “Please pay attention to the date of the thread you are getting ready to post in. If you look in the archives or even just back a few months you shouldn’t bring that post back. By that time it’s ok to start a new thread if you can’t find the information you need.

In this case they were jpegs, but they could’ve been gifs. GIF is just a graphics file format that doesn’t necessarily (and in most cases back in the day, wasn’t) animated. 256-colour palette meant the format is largely behind us, but you’ll still see GIFs used for things other than funny animations. Of course, the BEST use for a GIF… funny animations. :wink: ---

There’s a a balance between necroing and continually making the same kind of threads over and over again.
