I would just like to ask if I could double post in one of my old threads in the Anime Central sub-forum with extra information (The Hatsune Miku one)

Now I know the next thing you'll tell me is that I should "just use the edit button" but here's the situation.

The thread is quite old now and has stopped getting views completely and I don't think people will notice anymore if I would edit the thread (since to my knowledge, editing does not count as a new post or will not be shown publicly) . That is why I am asking if I could 2x post into this particular thread, to show people that the thread is still active and that I have added the extra stuff I wanted to add.

Thank You for your time.

There's actually a trick to doing what you want without appearing to double post.

Edit your existing post, and copy all of the information out of it. You can just keep it on the computer's "clipboard," or you can copy/paste it into an empty text document in notepad or some such if you want to be sure you don't lose it. Then delete this post. Then post a new post, paste in the text from your previous, now-deleted post, and add your edit. It's a little bit circuitous, but it'll bump the thread without a double post.

Though if it's been long enough, a double post probably wouldn't be looked at with too much dismay; it kind of depends on individual moderator judgements in that respect.

As one of the Anime-Subforum mods, I really wouldn't have a problem with a "necro" double posting, so long as it's pertinent information to the topic. I really only get peeved if the second post was made within a few minutes of the first.

@avwolf
so you're saying that I just delete my dead one and make a new one? Sure I can do that.
@Jediguy
So I can 2x post on said thread?

oh yeah, FYI, Ill be putting in links to some very nice PVs I found in youtube that I really want to share. (and maybe a few other things)....I really think the newcomers who are curious about Miku and the other Vocaloids will really like it, heck I think people who like music will like it too XD

As long as it's been a while and it has valid information, yes, in my book, you can double-post. You can also follow Av's advice; Either is fine, and i've done the latter a few times myself.

Ok, thanks alot.

I will be doing the latter as well, and should the need arise, I will also use AV's suggestion. :mrgreen:
