Get the Necroposting mug.
The act of posting in a forum thread that is too old to matter any more, or has served it's purpose.
Usually by new, inexperienced members of the board.

A common trait of someone necroposting is not to only bring one old thread back from the last page before deletion, but to fill up the entire first page with threads that only they seem to think have relevance to anything.

Originating from online forums in the early 2000s, necroposting is now widespread among old YouTube videos. Typically involves some retarded Zoomer responding to a comment from 2008, and phrasing it in a way that comes off as if they expect the (almost always) long-dead account to reply to them.

In the context of the forums, the rootword of "necropost," which is "post," is most accurately defined as "a message published on a website." The prefix of the word, "necro-" most nearly means "dead." As such, the appropriate definition for a "necropost" (which can function as both a noun and a verb) would be "(v) the act of publishing a message on a website in a dead topic" or "(n) a message published on a website in a dead topic."
"dude... you just totally necroposted"

On a message board, posting something irrelevent on a really old topic to bring it to the top of the list topics. name comes from the fact that you are bringing it back from the dead, thus Necro. a practice common among n00blars.
