The informative post was something that belongs in the Improved Faldorn thread, not this one.

I'd say that Ironworks discourages thread necromancy, not forbids it. If whathuh had posted something like "i beat fladorn wit my kensai/mage with celstial fury an teh hammer what gives 25 str she was dead so fast cuz i am THE MAN" it would have been different, but instead, his post contributed some knowledge that was actually new.

Perhaps Dundee locked the thread to prevent people from reading through pages & pages of what they'd probably already seen before (and then posting on it?), but I think people are smart enough that if a 5-page thread suddenly appears at the top of the forum, it's been brought back up. Of course, these views can be seen as supporting thread necromancy in general, so let me add a quick caveat by saying that the thread was only 6 months old, and it's a nice reminder that Weimer has known for at least that long just how overpowered Faldorn is (Unless you have geared your entire game to winning this one fight, there is quite literally NOTHING you can do that will harm her), and done nothing about it.
