It's what people do. They don't even check if there is an old topic before they create a new one half the time, letting the older threads die as everyone moves to the new ones.

It may sound like a worse option to you, but that's simply what people do. So we have a necroposting policy to keep the old threads from being dregged up again, and to keep the newer and more relevant threads on the first page of the Forum Boards instead of being buried beneath all the old and outdated threads, as every time someone comments on a thread it is moved to the first page of the Board.
