This seems very contradictory and not particularly helpful.

Another problem occurs when several people have similar releases, often containing much of the same content. One particular example that has been driving me crazy is with all of the different spell systems. It is hard to know where to turn when wanting to sort some of this out, hence my initial question.

I am trying hard, but I am still a newbie.
It depends. Necroing as a whole is frowned upon, however there are instances where it can be useful. If you have new information for a thread, an upgrade or a fix to a script long since abandoned by its original author, its actually a GOOD thing to necro the original thread with a link to your script or fix for it. If people jump on you for that, screw them.
