Usually old posts get in the way of the new ones, is not recommended to bump old topics unless it's relevant information. Imagine someone who released a character 10 years ago and someone bumps the topic, the author probably isn't even active anymore, no need to post in a topic like this.

Now, why do you need to ask this in a passive agressive xenophobic way?

Posting on older threads pushes out newer, more relevant threads into second page, and thus farther from where most people will be able to see them.  This is mostly enforced in projects and release boards, and mostly ignored in the offtopic boards. That being said, there can be legitimate reasons to bump an older topic even in releases (updates, for example) and posting something dumb and irrelevant in an ancient offtopic thread can also be worth deleting.

Lol. As a Korean, I'd assume you're talking about "North Korea".
But the jist of it is: unless the post is super relevant and/or an update that directly has smth to do with the said topic, necro-ing an older post is kind of a dumb move since it's literally "old news".

We don't need to see old feeds popping up out of nowhere simply because someone had a sudden urge to post smth about a topic from 10+ years ago.

It's called necroposting, and it's bad. We know you've been on forums before so this shouldn't be news to you. Unless you really are that dense.

Stop making stupid questions then. There are rules and you should read them before enter to a forum like this

You would think that this person would have read the rules and learned that bringing back dead topics is something that's frowned upon. Not just here, but any message board you go to.

It doesn't help that you're being pretty confrontational here. If you weren't being that way, then this would have been an easy case to deal with.

Why can't he post where-ever and whatever he wants?

The internet is nothing more than a playground, rules aren't necessary in a chat forum.

Becuz the internet may be free but this site is not and the owners decided to keep it this way.

This is a normal thing.
You'll find that necroposting is often frowned upon in most online discussion communities, not just in here.
If an ancient threads don't already get auto-locked, you'll be sure to find people giving you weird looks for commenting on old posts unless you have a relevant update.
