Thread Necromancy Record Broken!

Leo just broke the all time necro'd thread record, last post before his was nearly 10 years old. Let's give him a medal! :D

wow, 10 years .lol.

and it deserved it's own serperate thread...

Must be pretty epic.

Why not post this on vBulleitn.com, instead of posting here about a thread on another site?

There's more chance it would be locked on vb.com than on here.

hmm, I'd hazzard a guess replies like 'thanks for the info' that are out of context like that are proboably from xrumer or similar bots testing the water for spamming. they might do it so they have a postcount of 1, which on some forums may give them access to then make their own threads. (a common anti-spam permissions setup) so I would guess it was just another bot.

Lol, that is not really a convincing reason to post it here, on the contrary. :D :D

lol Marco.
It's an interesting discussion point about why bots decide to necro threads that were created at the time of the forums being created than spam recent topics.

@Anseur: I searched that user's post for the same reason, but it didn't come up on other forums :(

thanks for the info

i think the search system is to be blamed here. users new to vB don't really pay attention to timestamps and such.
