The sight that I see is not unlike that of a hooligan who defecates his hideous graffiti on long honoured graves. Must you ungrateful wretches consistently desecrate the memory of threads that should have otherwise silently slid into peace? Instead, you disrespectfully exhume the shells of these once vibrant topics and set forth your childish boasts of "Gentlemen! I call upon you to look upon my findings! Such an amusing post it once stood... Now, let us ravage it's memory with post counts until our guardians are forced to euthanize its formerly glorious existence." If you must satisfy your 'threadophilia' fetishes, please direct it towards topics designed for the indignity of such abuses, rather than defiling what should stand as memorable history.
Should the powers of postcount tally be vested in me, I would have long rearranged the numbers of such 'necromancers' to a degree far beyond the rearrangement of Michael Jackson's current disfigured visage...

Anyway, this forum discards topics older than a certain date so really some of these people are saving humorous topics from slipping silently into the abyss of nothingness. Or, sometimes a forum searcher simply finds an old topic that is new to him and posts in it... anyway, it's 3 in the morning and this is spam, lmao. Good game.

Sometimes threadomancy is necessary, like in the I&S forum....
Okay, bad example.

I think the worst threadomancy occured in General Discussion today. On the front page I saw a thread in there called "new forums" and was like "WTH". So I go in, and some evil dark necromacer had resurrected a two year old thread with the word "yay".

Necromancer: Woah, that would be cool!

Bah he undid my handy work. Foiled again, by meddling kids.
Not true. NS Forums have not lost a thread created since we switch to Ikonboard from UltimateBoard way back when. Click the "Show threads from" drop down at the bottom of the index of a forum and select "The Beginning" to see them all.
I barely threadomance a thread though. Honestly because of the few forums I've been to have a strict 'No threadomancy' policy.
At least I'm thankful this place allows threadomancy with actual meaning, and not unnecessary threadomancy messages like 'omg thats cool'
Which can oddly be found at the Modelling forums from time to time.
