Wasn't able to resist making Mike (Henke) & Mike (Oversteegen) a thing one fanfic and Abby & Carson in another. Sorry. :D

One of my favorites is MAlign, with the first two letters capitalized. It stands for Mesan Alignment, and also spells out "malign."

"Necroing" or "Necro posting" isn't a term specific to this forum, it is a general internet forum term. It is used here, but seldom, if ever, discussed here.

Answers! I got lots of answers!

It's a termed coined on some forum on internet a long time ago.

It basically means to revive a very old thread (ie. a dead one) by making a new post in it. The term is mostly used disparagingly to indicate some displeasure of the revivification of the dead thread.

The etymology is from necromancy.

I would not be surprised if there is someone out there on the internet who gets excited by humping a dead thread.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams:

People are strange. Really strange. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly strange they can be. I mean, you may think it's strange to be slapped by an eel, but that's just peanuts on the internet.
