This is the beginners and help board of the forum. So as a beginner, I am here to get some help. I therefore appeal to you to kindly forgive my ignorance, but I need to ask these questions so that I can get a clearer understanding and not break the forum's rules.
1. If necroposting isn't allowed to prevent spamming why aren't very old threads lock?
2. If I come across an old thread from 2021 and I think I have new input to contribute, would do you advice me to start a new thread instead of bumping the old one?
I have not read in any rule and regulations on this forum where it is written that long inactive posts cannot be replied to. Once the reply to a topic is not closed, replying to such topic should not be seen as a foul or breaking a guideline.
And on the other hand, irrespective of the time a post is last replied to, contributing to it in relation to current situation can still be done.
