So whats with the Necroing?

I've noticed today that some person or people were necroing months old threads with negative topics on Mortal Online. My question is why would someone hate a game so much as to spend hours just bumping up old posts about bugs that were patched months ago? Most people would just leave one or two negative posts about a game they don't like and then move on to the next game. Why are some people spending countless hours making thousands of negative posts about this single game?
Has something like this ever been done to any of the other MMO game forums on mmorpg.com? Is Mortal Online the most hotly debated game on MMORPG.com?
Who was it that necroed all those threads and where they banned?

If you were actually here at the time you would have seen that it was done to bury other posts and "make fun" of people who don't like Mortal Online.
I think it had the direct opposite effect.

It's pathetic - everyone knows who it is. It makes mmorpg.com look stupid more than it hurts MO. For such a case of necro'ing those threads ought to be burried/archived, not allowed to sit locked.
What's worse is that this person is horribly misinformed to the point of being libelous. Mmorpg.com are, amongst other things, a publisher (online). They shouldn't tolerate this sort of nonsense.
The necro'd threads were locked instead of deleted / moved to trash precisely to "bury" them. As you guys continue to discuss the game, they will fall further and further back through the pages, becoming buried.
Also, we don't tolerate this sort of nonsense. I'm not sure where you got that idea.
So do the other game forums on mmorpg.com keep you just as busy as Mortal Online game forums do?

I understand what you're saying, but traffic to this forum is high at the moment due to a certain article on mmorpg.com. I don't agree that locking the threads is enough because it means the attack was semi-successful during this busy period. I have no idea what tools you guys have at your disposal and I'm not criticising any individual, but it really does make everyone look bad.
That's simply how I feel, no hard feelings, eh?
IMHO it simply makes the person or people who spammed the forums look bad. If you have to make fake accounts and spam a forum to make your point... your point doesn't deserve to be heard.

I agree with you completely. Those threads should have either been pushed back down were they belonged or deleted completely.

Locking them is the only way we can push them back down. That is why they were locked. I could move them to trash or delete them, but then that allows users to abuse our forums by necroing good discussions and forcing them to be deleted.

I'm really not sure how that is relevant to anything.
It's just a very simple question. Why dodge it?

In my opinion, locking threads so that the information and thread are available to be read years later is 10x better than deleting the thread. Once deleted, the info is gone forever. Once locked, individuals can still find, read, and use the info in the thread and it could still be useful for a variety of reasons. I just don't see any benefit to a deleted thread unless it is pure garbage/trolling/flaming, with no substance whatsoever.
To me, the Mortal Online forums seem to get about the same amount of love overall that all the others do.
