Who is Forum Necromancer and why is he posting in old threads?

Franklinnoble · 05-05-2003, 02:58 PM

Any idea?

korme · 05-05-2003, 03:03 PM

its annoying

JeeberD · 05-05-2003, 03:12 PM

I'm guessing a Wig, those mischievous scamps...

sachmo71 · 05-05-2003, 03:13 PM

Who gives a filp?

cuervo72 · 05-05-2003, 03:13 PM

Agreed, I think it is a funny idea, as long as it pops up sporadically, like maybe once every couple of days. Digging up 5-10 in the matter of an hour just makes things tedious.

sachmo71 · 05-05-2003, 03:13 PM

Or a FLIP even?

henry296 · 05-05-2003, 03:13 PM

If you sort the forum in ascending order and for the last 100 days it takes you to January 25th, which is right about when Forum Necromancer is replying to.

Todd

Ksyrup · 05-05-2003, 03:15 PM

I don't know, but the intent was to get someone to post a thread like this.

Congratulations.

sachmo71 · 05-05-2003, 03:16 PM

The name is clever...raising old threads from the dead. It's a bit obvious for a wig trick, I think.

So you think he thinks he's replying to new threads when he reply's to threads regarding the Super Bowl?

Ksyrup · 05-05-2003, 03:46 PM

Nearly all of the threads "raised" are football-related. Maybe someone has chosen to take this form in order to put the "Football" back in FOFC.

Personally, I think we should moderate new user accounts the way we moderate the QOTM. That way, no offensive or annoying new users can enter our sterile environment.

JeeberD · 05-05-2003, 03:55 PM

I agree. We need to start having a password required to register. We don't want just anyone joining our community...

cincyreds · 05-05-2003, 03:55 PM

He is the new dark side that has risen to over take FOFC.

Yeah, because everyone here is a perfect saint and we don't need people getting into our little gated community.

If you start putting up entry barriers, a community dies because there is no influx of people to counteract people leaving.

D'oh. I never see these things. Why doesn't someone make it more obvious. You know, like typing it in flashing giant letters.

Ragone · 05-05-2003, 04:27 PM

I think maybe a post limit for people under say.. 50 posts.. 2 posts a day.. might work..

Kodos · 05-05-2003, 04:31 PM

I think new members should only be allowed to join if they have good references from an existing member. Who is not a Cowboys fan.

Hell no, we need as many Cowboys fans as possible to counteract the anti-Cowboys faction that is festering here...

JeeberD · 05-05-2003, 06:37 PM

That's what I'm guessing since that's what it says under status on his profile page...

SackAttack · 05-05-2003, 06:55 PM

If you've looked at his username and you have to ask why he's reviving old threads, you're just not paying attention.

Just because his name explains his behavior doesn't mean it explains WHY he's doing it.

Maybe he'll answer the question when this thread is about 6 months old.

I read that as 'homophilia' as I quickly scrolled down to see what new posts there were.

Yikes.

From the movie Full Metal Jacket. Good film. You should check it out if you've never seen it.

As stated before, it's from Full Metal Jacket. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out on one of the greatest cinematic phenomena of the last 20 years.

Alright, maybe I'm overstating that a bit... still, it's worth a rental, at the very least.

I thought it was rather amusing as long as it wasn't overboard. Maybe a post here and there for kicks.
