I don't think some of you get it.
Someone bumps a two day old thread. Someone says 'Don't bump an old thread. Read what Army posted'.
Well, it's not old. As defined by Mr.DoomBringer, a thread is officially old if it is one month old and inactive. The reason why the developers don't add a 'deletion page' for after a certain page is because of historical context. They want users to be able to look back and see what the forums were like back then.
As of what Army posted, completely true. It's considered spam. |

If you want to see how the forums looked like in the past, go to the archives. |

If it is a help thread, yo can bump it, even if it hasn't been bumped for a while. The guy who made it will soon notice and will have more people to help =D. |

That is EXACTLY what I was trying to say. There was this post what wasn't even a Month old yet and a Friendly User comes and posts on it. Heres what he gets in response:
"whyed you bump dis nub" |

Actually, Johnny, no, you can't.
Here's what you do in that situation. With permission from the owner, copy and paste it into a new thread. |

Bump of informative posts. |
|
|
So you would call a thread that has no more use now not against the rules?

No, it just shouldn't be bumped, FOM2, for it would be considered spam. |

It dosent matter how old it is actually, as long as it's active. I agree, because people seem to start fights from simple things like this- because they think right away something is wrong. Definition of an old thread is one that's out of date, and noone has posted to, for i guess, at least a month.
If by then, anyone who bumps that thread, should be reported. |

One of Sirloin's threads got locked due to "1-day old bumping" |

I don't make fights, Link, thus I didn't mean for it to sound like I was directing it to you.
Sorry. D: |

I already mentioned that, Dig. You just elaborated on it. |

Link, I'm talking about a thread that was useful for the time being and was bumped at a time that it isn't useful anymore.

Whathe12,
Then it was falsely locked.
Nintendoboy,
I was just wondering if it was directed towards me. |

Then it is spam, FOM2, since it's a pointless post at the time being. |

FOM2 does bring up a point.
By the time someone bumps it, 99% it isn't useful anymore. |
|
|
So does that mean it would bypass that rule because it was bumped two weeks later.
