I don't post on the forum much, but when I do, it's something that I feel strongly about.

Necrobumping is one of those things that, no matter how much you try and remind people, somebody keeps doing it.

For people who are unclear, necrobumping is when you post on a thread that has long been posted on. This is bad for a number of reasons:
 * People's notifications become cluttered with discussions they haven't been involved in for a long time.
 * Information posted a long time ago has a tendency to be different to the information available now. Telling somebody "oh but 0.11.0's out now" on a thread that was only commented on when 0.10.0 was released is not only stupid, but useless, as nobody else is going to comment on it.
 * Necrobumping has been associated with trolling, as a technique used by trolls is necrobumping old posts to divert attention away from other threads that they might vandalize.

As a final reminder:

DON'T

BUMP

THREADS!

tl;dr Don't bump threads. It's bad.
