And now I address the others. How many times have you found a thread with a question that you badly want it answered, from let's say 5 years ago and the answer only came a few days ago by someone who "necro-posted"???
Has it occurred to you that they may be other 1001 people who want to know the same thing?
This is a stereotype you are spreading, held in place by a limited way of thinking. So how about you start letting the information flow freely?
If the person who made this thread really wanted his question answered, he would have bumped the thread himself. Also, anyone else that's a part of this community and came across a topic about an issue they're also having, that has yet to be answered, will more than likely post in it asking for help as well.
If that happens to be the case, I don't see the harm in bumping the thread (then again, I don't care either way). But he answered a question that was asked 6 months ago, which got virtually no attention. For all we know, our good friend Shadowmancer471 here found the solution himself after further searching or experimentation and just forgot about this thread.
I mean, like I said, I personally don't give a flying shit if he bumps a thread from
three years ago. I was just giving him some tips in a slightly satirical manner is all. Please don't claim that I'm "spreading a stereotype" or that I'm "held in place by limited thinking." I don't know how to react to those kinds of accusations.
