I disagree with blindly sticking to the 120-day rule; the point is to avoid people constantly bump old posts without adding anything substantive, displacing the active ones. Since the current challenge is stickied, abd the topics were already on the first (and only) page of the subboard, should it be a problem if I add something new to each discussion?I agree that I was impolite in the phrasing of my posts.
Well, it's not like we've never necro'd topics before... xD I like the post-mortem topic idea, though.
Of course, this is not to discourage your contributions - indeed, better solutions after-the-fact are nice, and it does promote better, more efficient programming! If you want (and if @pimathbrainiac agrees), we can create a dedicated topic for post-code-golf discussion and solutions. (Topic title would be something like: "POST-MOTERM Code Golf - Discussion and Solutions", or something along those lines.) We can even sticky the new dedicated topic if it helps! Of course, the only condition for this is that you don't necro-post in those old topics (like this one) again... What do you guys think?
Are we so against necroposting that we need to create new threads for late, but on-topic replies? It seems to me like that's taking things a bit too far.If part of the issue is the topic title being misleading, I'd recommend simply putting something like [ENDED] at the front of the topic title when a contest is over, so any posts made after that point will have that tag and show up with that tag in new post notifications.
I agree, Sorunome. I guess I'll post in the threads corresponding to the challenges then, even if they're old, as long as I can contribute something. Does anyone have a differing opinion?
