Having recently de-lurked around here, and having had my very first post met (on consideration, rightly) with a *FAIL!* from a mod not minutes after going up, I figured I'd better be more careful about my postings.
So yeah, I haven't found any explicit rules about dealing with old threads, and was wondering if this community has any informal guidelines or conventions about old threads and under what conditions it is acceptable to post replies to them. I'm finding that I have random bits and pieces to add to apparently dead threads, but nothing I feel is really substantial enough to risk infecting the front forum page with zombies....
Example involving B10F:
[spoiler]In the thread titled "The elusive sprout," I kinda wanted to add a note about the location of a sprout I encountered on B10F that was not within that little clearing where Ren and Tlachtga heal your party, but that thread's been inactive for several months. Would something like that be too minor an addition to warrant post-bumping?[/spoiler]
I note that in a recently locked topic in the general discussion section, Maxine made a statement that may suggest a general 10-day threshold for thread death, but due to the specialness--for lack of a better descriptor--of that particular thread, I am unsure of the intended scope of that statement.
Advice?
