I was wondering why people are opposed to bumping topics that are on the older side? I figure that if its still a viable topic, such as the one I bumped discussing the difference between TF2 and CS:S, then why not talk about it? And another one bumped today was asking for help on wow model viewer, if someone has a problem that was already brought up then why not continue the topic instead of starting another? Some of the people might just be starting machinima and are reading through the older topics, if they have a question about whats in one what are they supposed to do then, start another whole topic so more people can post the same thing they did then? Guess I just don't get it and value old things.

Well others certainly are condemning it. Gorndt even wrote on one that the next person to megabump got a 50% gold deduction.

i think it started with me bumping a very old thread then gorndt said the next person who bumps a thread over 3 months gets a 50% gold reduction. lol you wrote before me, but if gorndt and jared cared that much about spam and to many posts why do they advise against bumping, thats like encouraging people to waste more forum space.

You weren't the first, I started it a couple days ago. Thought I would go through and bring up some good topics that could still be discussed. Like I was going to bump the poem thread next then read Gorndt's post. The poem topic could still be used, why not bring it back up? I just don't get it. And Jared hasn't said anything either way that I know of. He hardly ever shows his face outside of the occasional WVR.

Well I have nothing against bumps, but ones that are bumped that are over a year old are stupid.


Thanks for this beautiful siggy Blubo! =D

Why though is my question? I don't want that they are stupid, I want to understand why people think they are stupid.

50% gold reduction for that is Nazi. I can't believe they'd do that. Seriously, bumping old, useful threads is great.

I don't think Gorndt would actually do that, I think it was just his way of saying he didn't like megabumps.
