What was the best method you created and your best time on it? (Don’t get mad at me I know not everyone can create methods)

I think the necro post was fine in this particular post. There was no… “time constraint” ( for a lack of a better term), for this thread, as in this was not a help thread where the op already got the answer, it was a discussion that could just be continued.

I think this type of thread is somewhat similar to the https://www.speedsolving.com/thread...received-from-a-non-cuber.74774/#post-1647017 thread, discussion halted for a while, but once it started back up, there was no quarrel for it being back.
 
I came up with a big cube method (better explained and better named by dudefaceguy here) and got the following times officially:
4x4 - 1:29.97 average and 1:19.34 single
5x5 - 2:30.53 average and 2:18.45 single
6x6 - 5:06.18 single
7x7 - 8:01.81 single
The method leaves a slice to solve last, but for 6x6 and 7x7 it leaves 2 slices, so it's pretty inefficient beyond 5x5. I've since switched to Yau for all of these because Yau has really good lookahead. I only use QTPI for the Roux weekly competition now.

I agree with OtaMota here. The general rule is 'no necroposting unless you have something meaningful to contribute'. I would argue that the post in question adds to the discussion and this thread being revived isn't necessarily a bad thing

Agreed also, I feel like if you bumped an old thread with the most valuable knowledge ever in cubing, and the cure to all cancers, the majority of people will still get angry lmao

Can someone please tell me what the heck "necropost" is, and how I'm somehow doing it?

Alright man, I still don't have an explanation for what the heck it means to "bump" a thread, and how to avoid it. I'm new, please cut me a little slack for not knowing this forums' terminology for things. And, though I am on other forums, I have never seen the phrase " bump a thread". So, I'm kinda uneducated.

I agree that people are being way too harsh on new users for bumping threads, especially when they have no idea what that actually means. Bumping a thread means posting on a thread from a long time ago that hasn't had messages for a long time, and you shouldn't do it if you don't have anything significant to add to the thread or if you're responding to a help thread from years ago(the person who wanted help probably won't even be active). But there are a lot of situations where it's fine, like if you have something meaningful to add or if the topic is relevant again for whatever reason.
