If you want to get blocked, sure, go ahead and necropost/necrobump. :)

In all seriousness, I've already explained it...it's not worth closing every single thread, and we don't need tons of spam on stuff that is no longer relevant. I only really close old threads because they get necrobumped. Bringing up unrelated discussion is a big deal, since you're just going to get a ton of spam that needs to be deleted. Best way to avoid it is to not do it. It's not necessarily something block-able for but if you consistently do it and think it's "no big deal" you'll likely to get blocked due to violating commentary policy. Discussed semi-recently at Thread:176032 (where "necroposting is ok" has already been dismissed and debunked).

For the most part, we've determined it to be a problem, it is against our rules, it is considered a source of irrelevant discussion and often is due to pointsgaming, we don't want it happening.
