This is to Phil, but I think that others may want to comment.
There seems to be a wave or resurrected threads recently. And it seems that it is newcomers that do all the resurrecting. Some times the last post is totally unrelated to the original topic. I think that sometimes the newcomers simply cannot find the "Post New Thread" button. Very irritating.
I do not think that posting in old threads should be completely banned.
I am thinking that if someone wants to post in a thread that is more than x years old, then a warning should appear, i.e. "Your are posting in a thread that started x years ago. Are you sure that you want to do that".
