    I don’t know what you mean by “necroposting” hate moderator brainworm". Care to elaborate one what this I and why it is bad?

      It’s very common for forums to have rules against posting in a thread that hasn’t seen any activity for an arbitrary amount of time. When you do that, you will often cause a thread that has fallen from the front page to bump back to the top of the front page. It’s not clear why this is a problem, though. Maybe regulars just dislike seeing old topics brought back up?
