necropost
Reviving dead discussions
A necropost is a message added to an old, inactive online discussion thread—resurrecting it from the dead.
Forum communities often discourage necroposting, especially when the new comment adds nothing substantial: Don't necropost a three-year-old thread just to say "me too".
The verb is necropost; the person is a necroposter.
