How about if the mods notice a thread that has already been answered they merge the new thread with the old one. I believe that will bump the old one and keep there from being a lot of closed threads.
It's a moronic idea because if I was going to say... discuss HHH's run with the title from the early part of the year am I going to drag up a 6 month old topic and hope someone responds? People get bitched at for bringing up months old topics.
