we can move it eventually, but it was meant for the people on this forum.  If I had put it in Rants, it may not have been seen.
I wanted to write something profound here, but I couldn't think of anything.

All is well GM, you didn't know but now you do. I suggest we all take the time to read through the forum rules while we await MB3.   :D

Actually I was under the impression that in Brandon's forum there is necroposting allowed, although there is a standard rule against it in all the other parts of TWG.

Here's a quote from Spriggan on the fan art thread:
Quote
We should have one fan art thread, since we don't care about thread necromancy in Brandon's forum, also it will be good so things don't get lost.

I can understand how it might bother some people, but I don't know.  I have very little problem with it.  It get's me reading things I've missed.  I do understand how it can be annoying for those who have been here for a couple years though, reading the same thing over again, and that's why it's discouraged elsewhere.  But I just thought I'd bring it up.

I think Spriggan's comment was in reference to if we had new and useful material to post on an older topic. Such as how if we all stopped posting in the Comprehensive Hemalurgy Thread until Hero of Ages came out, it would be perfectly fine to post in it, so long as we had more to add to the topic. On the other hand, topics which have died a natural death or where no new information is available, necroposting should be discouraged.

I did, miyabi, if it helps.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with Czanos
