without feeling self conscious?

for me about 20-30 mins maybe more if in top 66.6 - 75% of page 1

good threads can't die but at the same time you don't want to be that guy who people know is looking at page 2 and posting in that poo poo, just have hope that someone else does

I pretty much only ever look at the first page, so however old the posts on the first page are.

I think it's because people sometimes use it to troll the first page, filling it with old dumb threads that had properly faded away from notice.

Here is the official policy:

Ralp posted:

There is no penalty if you're adding something even a little bit worthwhile. Recently someone mass-necroed a whole page of old threads about to fall into archives, and someone else bumped an awful and highly illegal "free my buddy" thread in GBS with an empty quote. These are the acts of posters trying to make the forums worse instead of adding to them. (and actually I even reversed the second guy's ban anyway due to someone else's apology/explanation, but it's still a good example and might be specifically what you are referring to in the first place)
