Replying to old comments or threads is known as "necroposting" and it's frowned upon in many wikis and forums. What length of time constitutes necroposting varies between wikis, but here 1 month is the cutoff date. Occasionally there's a legitimate reason one might reply to old comments or threads, but most of the time it's better to create a new comment or thread. Bottom line, necroposting can be annoying and often needless. Only if new users actually take their time to read the rules...

I never actually asked to be a part of the administration team, let alone being promoted to an administrator -- I didn't even think I was even good enough. All it takes is making plenty of good edits and commitment to keeping the wiki in good shape. I went from an ordinary user to a chat moderator to a patroller to currently an administrator in the span of less than a year. I never asked or even attempted to be promoted; I earned it. (Besides, we don't accept requests or applications for administrator slot or any other positions.)
