I think necro posting should not be against guidelines anymore (in general, not just on this instance).
Sometimes I come across like 30 different threads with the exact same subject while troubleshooting a problem because the other posts were "too old." Instead, I suggest that any thread can be posted to at any point in the future so long as comments are on-topic to the thread. It keeps things organized, and it allows for the searh function to be more efficient, as if a certain search query looks it may be right, youll be taken to a thread with all sorts of comments about what you were looking for, thus increasing your chances of finding what you need in less clicks, thereby decreasing your need to use the search function multiple times.
