X was getting uncomfortable about having the latest post on all of the topics, so I just thought I'd add that I haven't read any of these.

Edit:  I have now read one of them.

Why... why do I have this tab open? I swear I didn't go looking for old ones...

But NBNOG is OK. That's the only one I recognize by name; It's a pretty Dwarven concept, though.

PTTG, this is the BEST show of necromantic power I have EVER seen on these boards. Here, let me get you your bucket full of medals and the key to the forum.

Oh... Wow.

I've been considering doing something like this, but there's just a strand of moral something-or-other holding me back.

Thank you, PTTG. Thus through you I can vicariously necromance. Now, tell me, how was it?

Well, this is the 2nd greatest necromancy I have seen

The other one took part from 2002 - 2008, so the record was 6 years.

Try again!

In one form (now defunct) I once saw someone necro a post that went back to the forumns' usenet days. It was nearly twelve years old, and talking about bush... The wrong bush.

Wall of Darkness is pretty good, but I think The Other Tiger trumps all.

Well I personally did the largest thread necromancy by bumping a seven year old thread.

Of course nobody really cared about it.
