Questions about the forums

Why does “reviving” a topic seem like more of an irritation? If you try to reply to an old topic, it explains that it will notify everyone involved (If I remember what the message said?).

I’m… decently new to the forums? Been on here for like 6ish months so I’m not sure how the text editting works like bulleted lists?
I can do bold and italics along with strike through but that is the best I can do.
(Wait is this post even allowed?)

I guess I will ask a question more fun based though, If you were to relate the forums to another social media, what would it most be like?

In gaming forum culture, it’s generally considered poor form to “necro” or revive old threads, as they usually contain information or content that’s either outdated or has been repeated many times in other discussions. It can also be confusing for a reader who wasn’t participating in the original conversation.

TLDR: If you have an updated opinion or take on the same topic, ask yourself if you should really revive an old conversation, or would it be better to start a new one.
