Necroposting

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.

Necroposting

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.
