Ok everyone I know it's tons of fun making posts and all that but I have to ask everyone this question. Is it really necessary to revive dead topics over a month old just so you can make a post? That little number at the bottom of your name that tells how many posts you made is just a number. There is no significance to it. Having tons of posts doesn't make you smarter than the rest of us on wlodb. You are not better at wl because you have tons of post and a high rank. If you think because you have a high rank that people will take your posts more seriously then you are wrong. It isn't that amount of posts that matter but the content in each and every individual post. If you give good information then people will respect and listen to you. Rank has nothing to do with it.
I'm not saying that everyone out there is reviving dead topics for posts. I know sophieka made a post in an old topic but she was asking a question that delt with the topic and the topic had never been answered and something like that is perfectly fine. But why make a post in a topic that has already been answered and is no longer active and you have no reason to post there? The only thing reviving dead topics accomplishes is moving all of the active topics that people might have posted questions in further down the list. I don't go searching through each and every forum to find a topic that needs answered and I'm sure others don't either. Topics that have had recent posts are added to the home page and that is where I look to answer questions and I'm sure that is where everyone else looks aswell. So when people are busy reviving dead topics it pushes all of the topics with questions to the bottom or even off the home page and so we miss helping people in the game. So why do something like that?
Maybe I am misunderstanding people on this forum but I see things like this as a sign of disrespect towards wlodb.com, scott, seawolf and all the members of this forum. The forums were created to help people. To give them a better gaming experience so they can enjoy their time playing wonderland online. Reviving dead topics so that we can't help those with actual question hinders them from advancing in the game and that is not a fair thing to do to them. Scott and all those who were around when the site was created put a lot of work in to this site to make it easy for everyone to use and I think, as members of this site, we should show our appreciation by using the site in the way that it was intended to be used. To help others and share our experiences in the game. Posting to get ranks and reviving dead topics isn't what the site is here for. I do hope that people will start to show more respect on the site one day.(editing posts, no double posting, no reviving dead topics, no posting poinless things for ranks)

I know this is a long post and there are some of you out there who will not read this and will spam this topic with junk about how long this post is and that's fine. But to everyone out there who reads this topic thank you for reading it.
