Forum-Necro-Theory

Obfuscation of recent events. Necro old thread to hide the new.

First precursor glance at information control was arbitrary hatred of "necroing" a thread. You were commanded to search before you posted, if you successfully found a relevant post, you were not allowed to post inside of it. No logical reasoning behind it, it was culture killing.

Classical forums were extremely intriguing, until moderator tools became more developed and overbearing.

Reddit became popular for a while, now it is dead. Too much moderation.

This ties into Shitpost-Theory
