Archived, yes. Allowed to post to, and bring back to life...I think there should be some sort of expiration date (like bad Aspirin, which smells vinegarish).


So, we gotta SMELL the threads now?!?!?!

Other forums I go to use different software and thus this problem of "ancient threads" being resurrected and bumped to the top is absent.

I second the locking of very old and very large threads, if only out of compassion for those folks who have a dial up connection.

It is perfectly acceptable to start a new thread and provide a link to the old one within your new post, i.e.: refer to the old thread without bumping it.

Personally I prefer newer threads with links to old threads. That is how we can have fresher threads with connections to other threads of same subjects Especially if threads become too long ( 3 or more pages each)

Having said that, I prefer leaving the whole thing to the market or nature or whatever, with NO control of any sort.

If some folks are ineterested in a subject, they keep it up and alive. If no one is interested in the thread, it will sink to the bottom on its own.

just my 2 cents
