While I agree that he's "special," it's from remembering his previous post history in here (see his recent posts).

But keep in mind different people will draw the line at different places as to how long a post should be inactive before posting in it is a blatant act of "necromancy" versus a legitimate update to the thread. Some might believe that if they really have something significant to say to the thread, they should revive the thread even if it's been dormant for years.

The fact that the Archive forums are on read/write status conveys to some that the mods here don't have a problem with reviving old threads. If that practice is indeed frowned upon, there's a quick and easy way to solve it: lock the Archive forums into read-only status. (IMO, that's what should have happened all along.)

Wish I could, however the Dev in charge of the forums almost never come here, but you already know this. A 3 year old post should have been locked for a long time IMO.
