I just checked the thread, so to clear up exactly what type of necro it would be: just less than a year, so not that bad considering we have threads like The Newcago Court which get necroed all the time, and as far as I can tell from skimming the last few posts there are no lingering plot threads. The last characters to be in there left it.
Necroing has also always seemed a bit different for RP threads to me. I mean, we still use the guild threads and threads like CDS and it doesn’t matter. Last era’s in-between eras thread got necroed a few times with people adding their scenes, and Voidus decided to reuse it for in-between E4 and E5 as well.
There’s nothing in necroing this that we wouldn’t have done before, and in a city as important as Alleycity, the number of lasting named locations we have is...not super high. Especially if you take out all the tavern-type places. I agree with what Sorana said about building the place along with the characters; writing over history (in the unInvested, normal-people-way) all the time just makes for a creation that feels transient to me. And from a writing standpoint, making use of what you already have to accomplish something as opposed to creating something new for every occasion is usually the preferable option, leading to a better product.
I, uh, have strong feelings about this, I guess lol.
