About those old threads
It seems to me you all hate those old threads coming up here again on the first page. So why don't you just lock all of those threads who is now 5-10 months old to prevent they will never come up on the first page again?
If the topic becomes relevant again and someone has something really new to add, I have no objection to a thread being revived. (but mostly, a thread is revived by someone who's either clueless or simply didn't watch the date of the last post)
Bumping old threads is against general internet etiquette though, so something like this really shouldn't be necessary. I'd rather not take such a radical approach if it's not needed. I personally think a forum filled with locked topics looks ugly and besides, continuously locking topics gets tedious.

The remedy to that is quite simple. If a forum is "dead" for a little while, don't go flooding it with senseless oneliners, but simply leave it inactive for a while. The former act just kills a forum quicker.Sometimes nothing interesting has been said in a few months, then you have to go back 5 or 10 pages to get an interesting conversation going.
