When posting becomes necroposting?

There are few threads that I see from time to time, including Trope Repair Shop threads that I want to reply. However, these entries are sometimes more than two weeks olds. So when it becomes unacceptable(in lack of better word) to post in thread? Or is there "unlimited time"? I know threads are hidden after 60 days of inactivity and are deleted in 9 months(if I don't remember wrong)

If it is not locked, its open for posting.

There isn't supposed to be such an issue with TRS threads. Those are almost never deleted (I think), so that if you want to necro one, go for it.

Alright, thanks for info. I wanted to check first because msot online forums have "2 weeks Rest In Peace" rule.

Just make sure that you have content to add. It's bad form to necro something when you don't actually have anything to say.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

[up][up]I believe this apply for the other threads outside the Wiki And Forum threads. However, since the Media forums usually have only one thread for any given work, posting there after a long time is usually acceptable if you are bringing some news.
