[ FORUM CULTURE ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]
Replying to a forum thread that's been inactive for a long time, long enough that reviving it is considered mildly disruptive or a minor faux pas in most communities.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Sorry for the necropost but this thread is exactly what I needed and it's still unanswered."
LORE & ORIGIN
