Policy on necro vs new topic?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Policy on necro vs new topic?

Post by Athena »

I'v learned that it's bad to necro an old topic (post in a topic that hasn't been posted in in a while), but it's also always better to post in an existing topic rather than creating a new one.

What are your policies, is it ok to post in a topic that hasn't been posted in, in let's say a month, or should I just forget talking about something all together (ie. a specific book etc)?

Nothing wrong with resurrecting an old topic, if you have something to add to it, but as you rightly point out it is always good to do a search before starting a new topic .... just to avoid duplication.
