May I know why? Why it is considered 'not very nice', or bad etiquette? Nobody ever says why, they just say it is, and to me it makes no sense whatsoever. It's a written discussion thread. The whole point of writing stuff is that it typically has a longer impact than spoken words.
It's the one, main thread about this mod. You'd think people should be allowed to say something about it there without other people feeling insulted about it. So I'd genuinely would like to ask you guys, since you seem to know the answer. Why, exactly, is it bad to post in a thread that wasn't updated in a while, given that what is posted is related to the subject matter? What is 'not nice' about the 'necroing' deal?
And specifically to you, Ieqesai, just because 'the only reason you see' is the only reason you see does not make the only reason. If you re-read what I posted, I suggested a possible course of action for the last person who posted before me who was apparently disatisfied with the re-balanced version of the mod, even though the original version is still there to be downloaded. My post was an attempt to help out said person, and I simply used the opportunity to thank the creator while I was at it, as well as explaining why I was so grateful, so that possible other Omnir's Mod users could see the same value I saw in this mod. I was adding to the conversation, which is helpful, in addition to thanking the creator, which last time I checked does not hurt anyone.
To be honest I'm not sure why it is the way it is. It is just an established social norm across forums.
I believe it may have something to do with bringing non-relevant topics back from the depths.
This is the one main thread about this mod because the mod has been dead for years, as far as I can tell. Your initial post (albeit helpful) was responding to a post that had already necro'd the thread. The most recent post above that was in 2017. The mod isn't available on the mod browser as far as I'm aware and for good reason. It has been dead for a long time. I like the mod and I don't think being nice is a problem. My initial response was intended to be informative more than anything else because necro'ing topics is generally regarded as poor forum etiquette (for whatever reason).
