I have just gone over the TOS and I couldn't find anything on the "don't post in dead threads sections" could a admin or someone point me in the right direction.
I do believe that even if the thread is a month old it is not considered a "dead thread" there are some mods that go MONTHS with out any new updates on them. I believe if we are going to come up with a way to call a thread dead (if there isn't already a guild line. like i said I couldn't find anything) then it should be either half a year or a full year or even three months. But calling a thread dead after one month is a bit excessive.
True that we do not have a special section on dead posts and what not in our Terms of service, we do recommend abiding by the Nettiquite, found here:

I can't be bothered to find WHERE it talks about dead posting, but I know it's frowned upon.
The reason we don't have a definition of dead topics is because it varies from topic to topic, really. For example, many people consider the NYC Mod topic dead, because there hasn't been any posts in ages in it. Now if I posted in there, or any other team member (ignore the fact we're staff) with information about the mod, it would bring the topic back to life, acceptably. Similarly, anyone can post in the LA mod bugs or FAQ topics, regardless of how long it's been since the last post, as this is acceptable. Other topics do have expiration dates. Really, it relies on your common sense, but my rule of thumb everywhere, is if I need to stop to think if I should post in fear of resurrecting the topic, I shouldn't post there.
If you have any questions on particular topics, feel free to contact me in PM or even if you just want a more in depth explanation, I'll either do it by PM or if I think that this should be public (Common sense isn't always common) I'll add it to the tips from the staff topic

No problem 
I loved it when you added to the conversation by trying to play moderator and then called me a dick!
Anywho, if you haven't seen it, EFDE has an old bootleg of my JD mod. The old beta
It's under fiktiv in EM3 section.
I'm blowing my internet police whistle now. Let's just drop this before he retaliates, and then you retaliate, and then I've gotta ban you both. I don't like banning members who are generally well behaved. Actually, wait, I do

In that case, feel free to respond to his instigation, and make a full fight out of it

Way to go about being a dick there brother.
Way to go about being a dick there brother indeed. Except I don't consider you a brother, or any relation, not even my third cousin twice removed. And I also don't use the phallus to insult people. The phallus is a very important part of life, and I think calling someone one of the most important parts of human life is quite stupid*. Perhaps a simple conversation with him would be a more gentlemanly, if not civil (and expected) thing to do. If you want to be a big boy one day, you have to act like a gentleman, not a large child.
The man has a point though. If the last post would be a year ago I'd understand, but it's just a month...
See my first response in regards to death times of topics. I wouldn't consider this cold, but perhaps flat lined.
*No, I'm not phallo-centric, but without the phallus, natural procreation tends to cease and we all die out.
