Someday I'll get around to writing up the reasons why necro'ing should be perfectly acceptable, although probably just on B12.

Apparently, people can tell jokes - I just saw a dancer comment, "Did you hear the one about the sloth bear man and the magpie men?"

Oh, and named weapons get a list of creatures who have been killed with them, as well as the name of the killer, in their description.

I think it does, actually.

It doesn't.

Seriously? There was 3 years necro with answer on 9 year old post and no one noticed this?

There's literally only been one site I've ever been on that got pissy about necrothreading. Every other site I've been on has been conditional about it, and that condition was mostly, "how did it go the first time? If the thread was constructive and civil, go for it. If it ended in flame wars, don't bring it back because it'll likely just go there again."

So I think people here really need to STOP pointing out necrothreading, at least as long as the necro leads somewhere. A useless bump post is pretty shitty on these, but a post that actually adds something should just be treated as regular.

On topic: I saw several cages in a meadhall last time I was in adventure mode, so I know you can find those. Haven't found animal traps yet.

Especially on Bay12, where very little information would be time-sensitive, I can't see anything harmful about necros.

Oh, some info could be, due to updates changing things. I mean, years from now the game will be completely different. In the coming months there will be serious differences as issues get ironed out.

If a Necro is problematic, report it to Toady and request that the thread be locked (or the offending post removed). If the necro is on topic and still relevant, let it be.

As far as I am aware, Toady does not have a no-necro policy. It certainly does not exist in the forum guidelines.

He did put some posting restrictions on the Armok I board due to "people necro'ing old topics."

specifically posts from 2001, no clue why Toady was against this

[Mephansteras]

Could have just been that he got tired of people reporting the necros every time they happened.

I'm not sure, but it looks like I came across an NPC entering a tomb by himself and killing the mummy. Upon reaching the tomb of some Law-Giver, the game did not ask me to pick or break the lock, instead acting as a normal door. Inside, I found the coffin empty and some axedwarf running around.

Things happen even when you're not near any sites. So yeah, people will quest, steal artifacts, fight megabeasts, etc.

I can steal artifacts in Fortress mode from EVERYWHERE 
So I'll make a Collection

You can do it in adv mode too.
