This sucks.

[Shakebot]

I'm in 4 of the slowest games ever. Each of the 4 are taking 24 hours for someone to finish a turn, and in one, the guy started his turn and then stopped for 24 hours. I really need to pay that $20 so i can play more the 4 games.


Carry on!

[SmoKer]

Even if you sign up for 8 games...then you'll be in 8 of the slowest games ever.

[max is gr8]

Out of curiosity, why should necro-bumping be so frowned upon? Is it really that heinous a crime? Asking for a friend.

Bollocks.

The funny thing is that I have also seen people complain when someone starts a new thread. You get things like

"Dude if you knew how to use the search properly you would see we covered this exact same topic in 2007! Please learn how to use the forums properly!"

Yes because it's not possible that I have ever been a member of another forum and already been aware that gravedigging is a fairly common prank...
I also have this trick I thought up myself where I have someone open a seemingly innocuous file and when they do, it's a video of Rick Astley singing.

Lol. You invented forging quotes?

I'd let it go but if no one says anything you'll be telling us next that you invented typing. Hope I am not treading on your schtick by using a computer

I wish I had an answer, even a bad answer, but I don't

A long time ago some ancient mod decided to make a rule that necrobumping was bad, as bad a porn.. and so it was

My personal opinion.. it creates activity, I like it, but only admin can make change

So for those of you into necro, you need to start a thread and bring it to admins attention.

I was always under the impression necro-bumping is okay if it's useful.

Exactly.

The offense of necrobumping is "reviving an old thread without adding any meaningful content." {emphasis mine} If you are adding something to it, or if you have any use for it, even just because you think the information needs to be reviewed, then it's not necrobumping, per the definition.

Bumping random old threads 'just because' used to be a pastime of bored spammers. It's just another way of spamming, which is why it is banned. Bumping for a valid reason is NOT in the same category.

-----Seems pretty useful for new comers...Games are still pretty slow/I'm talking the tourney crowd.Funny I thought that was against the player code in tourney rules. ..Just change...$20 to $30/$40 scam....Informs the public even after 10 years...Back then you could count the members by 10's of 1,000's. I wonder who would object.

.Games are still pretty slow/I'm talking the tourney crowd.Funny I thought that was against the player code in tourney rules.

I've never heard that it was against the player code to take your time to play your turn. Also some people connect in CC only once per day, so you may have to wait 20-23h before they play again. Tournament or not tournament.

What are you talking about? Look at your post directly above the one of mine which you claim misquotes you. My quote is is verbatim.

Is there more than one person on the owenshooter account?

yeah, that is correct... however, how is responding to someone complaining about slow games in 2006, with:

I know I'm in a couple myself...

is not useful. it is a necro bump and he should have received a 1 month ban.-Jn

You're wrong, as you usually are when you bitch about necrobumping.

The original rule defines necrobumping as "(bringing dead forum topics back to life) if no new meaningful content is being added."

Subject: Community Guidelines

Spam is posting for the sole intention of being annoying.
There are a million ways you shouldn't be annoying, but ones worth mentioning:
=Spamming Specifics]

• Double/triple/multiple posting.
• Quoting just for the sake of quoting.
  • "QFE", "QFT" etc. do not qualify as "a meaningful post", add why you agree with the quote.
• Posting only, or lots of, smilies.
• Posting about yourself in a forum topic that is not specifically about you.
• Posts that add nothing to the current topic.
• Posting rapidly in a short time.
• Posting the same thing over and over in the same or other forum topics.
• Posting "parody" forum topics that aren't meant for an actual discussion.
• Necrobumping (bringing dead forum topics back to life) if no new meaningful content is being added.

Laying aside the fact that the rule is out of date and desperately needs updating, it very explicitly says "no new meaningful content is being added." Says absolutely nothing about "new useful content" just "meaningful."

Saying "I know how you feel. Same thing happened to me." is meaningful. Not particularly useful, but does connote meaning, expresses a feeling of commonality. It is not necrobumping.
