If you're still posting something interesting about the subject, bump it. Kingdom of Amalur The Reckoning gets a demo, bump the thread about the teaser trailer from last year, that's fine. Running around bumping threads saying:

"I wants it!" does nothing, few GOG employees read the forums and even if they all did it's not like laziness is the reason the games haven't been released yet and all GOG needs is a guilt trip to straighten up.

So if the dude wants to bitch that GOG is screwing the pooch, fine, but he should cut out this annoying, passive aggressive bullshit and articulate himself in an actual post. As a side benefit he might actually engage other members of the community and even possible GOG staff in a dialog.

tarangwydion: Let's have a discussion now... Is it wrong to murder a thread necromancer? :-)
Only if he makes comments that do not add progressive value to the discussion. And is oblivious to everyone else around him. Which, in this case, deathkitten fits the description.

orcishgamer: It's a grind-fest skinner box and it no longer even has the benefit of taking any skill. In my day we had pvp rank 11 level 59 twinks with epic mounts in 50-59 battlegrounds. We raided MC with blue Dire Maul fire resist gear and AC40 with green nature resist gear. We were manly WOW... well, only some of us were men, but you get the picture!

Die WOW, die Blizzard! Glargle!

kavazovangel: :D

By the way, I read the first 30 pages of Warcraft: War of the Ancients Trilogy today... really loving the book. The attention to details is pretty big. If you like Warcraft's lore, you'll enjoy the book.
You know, I have never really read any video game books. I have a few I've picked up from second hand stores over the years, maybe I'll give it a shot (don't know if I have any WOW ones).

That's another good way to determine bumpability. Mine example is really just a guideline, as I said, if you have a decent reason (or a damn excellent reason for a particularly old thread), by all means. It probably also depends on the conversation, too. One annoying thing about people bumping shit from years ago, is that sometimes you don't realize and reply to somebody from years ago. Also, don't bump if you're going to dreg up some horrible argument, 'cause that's awful. Especially when people start trying to argue with somebody from years ago.

doccarnby: I try to look at it this way:
If the thread is 1-3 months old, you can bump it.
4-11 months, you have to have a decent reason, but it might be better to just make a new thread.
A year or more? You better have a fucking damn good reason to be bumping it. No matter what you might think, making a new thread when there's an ancient one is not "cluttering up the forums".

doccarnby: Wat.
Some people on these forums have completely lost their last bit of Sanity

I remember bumping threads that were not even 2 months old, with content very relevant to the discussion and even then I got people screaming "NECRO NECRO, ROMAN IS A JERK, ROMAN WANTS ATTENTION" etc etc

I think it's getting up to the point where it's becoming taboo bumping old threads with relevant content because people go absolutely crazy and jump on you like a pack of wolves at a piece of meat

You know, GOG has recently started banning people for needlessly bumping super old threads. Franky, the admins are on a bit of a power trip and the moderation here has become rather heavy-handed. If you get banned from the forums you also lose access to all your games, so watch out.

I'm an Orc, not a trog!

But as far as I can tell you're a troll. Or drunk. Probably both.

The forum account and gamelibrary account are connected?

Are you sure you lose access to your games, I think I remember T saying they fixed that and you just can no longer post?

If you do lose access to your games that would fuckin' suck!

deathkitten: They should clean out the place and get rid of the people that just come here to attack people that actually want to talk about the games...
It's not like you've been by much in the last 4 years... Maybe if you had they'd have added all those games. Yeah, I'm thinking it's all YOUR fault SS2 isn't on GOG. Get him, everyone!

That would make you the only person here then. Shut your yap and stop digging up year old threads just to beg for shit that either will never be added, already has been added, or may be added in the future but won't happen any faster because you beg for the god damn game to be added when we've told you numerous times that the people who negotiate with companies don't pay attention to the forums, and possibly not the wishlist, not that it matters, because neither of those mean that the companies will agree to let GOG host the games anyway, so stop god dammit, I'm going around re-bumping RECENT threads with RELEVANT content just to help get your shit off the front page faster.
