I got a question devs that i need answering

If a post is old and it has a topic that you already thought of do you:

A:bump it?

or

B:make a new one?

I don't want to piss off anybody on this forum

Well, you've already done several things in the past that have annoyed me, but hey, I'm glad you're asking now.

The general idea is this, taken straight from the forum rules:

Quote

c. Posting Common Topics: Similarly, don't make multiple posts about the same topic if you can help it. It's courteous to use the search function to see what has been posted before, but we don't require it. However, you certainly should scan recent posts to make sure that there isn't another conversation you can join instead of starting the umpteenth "who do you lak better cloud or sephie!!1!!one" thread.

In general, there's no hard and fast rule. If there's a thread in which you really have something to say, then bump it. If you create a new thread, and we know an identical thread already exists, we'll probably merge it for you anyway. However, if you are bumping a thread just to say something like "I love Cloud," don't bother, because nobody will care.

You can bring older threads back, since it saves us the trouble of merging the two topics together. We prefer that you use the search function in the forums to look for a topic that may have already been discussed. The forums have been around for a very long time now - you should anticipate that topics like "favorite character" have been done time and time again.

For a question you didn't ask but fits into the umbrella of the thread title, 'bumping' your own thread is only allowed if you have some sort of new update and is generally only accepted in a Your Creations thread. Making a meaningless post to bring your own thread to the top of the list isn't allowed.

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me
