Ok, so I searched our staff forum, and I found a backup screenshot of my custom text for necroposting in our discussions:

Is there a TC or other solution that can bring this brilliant UX feature that was built-in to Discourse?

So yes, I don’t think we should discourage engagement, necroposting, or [bumping](https://meta.discourse.org/t/returning-bumping-after-editing-last-post/390033/12) if substantive. Rather, use the opportunity to train and guide our forum members.

I see the complete removal of this feature as a lost opportunity to do just that.

I hope this is helpful.
