Necro threads

[OldSalty]

Not that I care or am bothered by it.

But have there been a relatively large number of necro threads today? I could be imagining...been a long week...

All interesting thread titles / topics though...

It’s always the FNGs...

 

[Lowlight]

I mainly prune the PX and not the other sections so we have a lot of old threads here still

If I go and say, delete everything Pre-2015, someone will bitch there was this one golden thread which is now gone never to be seen again

It's interesting reading the old stuff, like a time capsule, and how fast things change

 

[Jscb1b]

I can't wait to get my post count to 5000. Then I can be a general nuisance!

 

[Mr.Kirk]

He’s a retired elevator mechanic w 2 precision rifles, a hunting rifle and a pair of custom cz pistols. He has time on his hands to read all that old stuff.

For sure! I’d probably be a complainer if you deleted old non-PX stuff, the site is an IMMENSE resource with old info that’s only old based on it’s post date. The info itself is still relevant and useful, so leave that stuff alone!

I agree it’s to get into the PX.

I don't always look at the date a thread was originally posted before I make a reply, but I don't usually go digging 20 pages deep either.

 

[Jscb1b]

I've done searches for stuff that took me back to 2011. I'm not reviving something that old.

 

[Lowlight]

If the information is relevant and the question is still valid or the answer has only changed slightly, just say, Hey I know this necro but my question brought me here, so my additional question is....

A shocking case emerges as a woman drives with a deceased homeless person for ten months.

[Jscb1b]

Could she drive in the car pool lane?

A real HOV dummy.

One of the most valuable things that this site and other forums possess are their archives. So much valuable information, entertainment, and useful insights are categorized in a digital library that can be called up whenever they are needed. The depth of storage and archive is also the pride of sites like this. Most of us are absolutely serious contributors and we view the time we spend here almost like a second job. We would greatly appreciate our efforts and contributions be preserved for successions of future generations to view and learn from.

The level of depth that I submerge into the archives is directly proportional to my BAC level. The higher it is, the deeper I tend to dive...

 

[Maser]

You really can't win in a case like this. If you bump an old thread, people whine how the thread is old. If you create a new thread, you get people who whine because the topic was already talked about.

I personally love when old threads get brought back to life and sometimes how long it takes for the subsequent posters to realize how old the thread is.

Also, it's a shame this thread title didn't have a typo for a certain letter. Would have put me into overdrive with jokes.

After 19 years here; who cares?

I don't.

[Bender]

This is my hobby when I get bored.

No 1911??? FAIL...

 

[Alphatreedog]

I personally like when someone likes something I said 8n a Necro Thread . When I check out the post they liked I am often surprised by the colorful string of fucktardery woven into a response . I give most of the credit to my personal comedy writer , Al Cohol . He is brilliant sometimes . ?

The increase in necrotized threads could also just mean the new search engine tool is working that much better...

 

[hlee]

You can get the info you seek without raising a dead thread. If there appears to be someone in the thread with the info you seek, PM them...

 

[Zatchmo]

This. I have almost done this myself. The new search tool seems to result based on a relevance algorithm rather than date. Do a search and see the second result and think it's fine. Check date, nope. 9 years old.

Please don't take this as a complaint about the search engine. I think it's fantastic. I just had to calibrate myself.

Really?

Uncalled for, unnecessary, and pretty sure the hate's all yours.

Taking LL's advice and putting you (back) on ignore. Took you off ignore some time back because I figure eveyone's entitled to another chance.

Not you, never again. Same for your pals who piled on.

See ya..., never...

Who does make the best scope these days for general usage, you know no Gucci games, or gear queer stuff?

 

[Bigfatcock]

Arken.

 

[Greg Langelius *]

Best, can't say; but affordable and very much good enough for 1000yd F Open, Mueller 8-32x42.

Because they're so affordable; I can afford three of them, and one of them has been in use for about a decade.

Not a Dusk/Dawn scope, otherwise they're fine for my needs.

Greg

 

[Snuby642]

The archives are a lot like me.

Some days old but still very relevant and other days old and a nuisance.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

So whatever happened to our Grave Digger? What was his name jos or something? Is he now peddling his wares in the PX?

@Krakenbjj is killin it w/the necro threads

@Krakenbjj is killin it w/the necro threads

Yup that’s my bad. My fat fingers sent me to the old threads and I didn’t look at the dates until I already posted.

 

[Snuby642]

Pretty sure most on here have done it.
