I think that when a topic is stagnant for 6 months it should get deleted. There are 58.000+ here and only a few hundred are relevant today.

I believe they should be archived.

No because usually the older topics that are now irrelevant work their way towards oblivion.

No, otherwise people would keep posting the same threads over and over even more than they already do.

Deleted? That's crazy. Someone asking "Hey how do I get to this thing in this game?" does not expire. Archiving makes more sense...still searchable, but can't be bumped.

I'm no computer expert, but wouldn't the amount of topics clog up the server in some way?

Take this old topic for example. What use does it serve sitting there?

Oblivion is worse than deletion after all.

No need. People just have to have the sense to not revive six month old topics.

People will either complain that the topic already exists, or that they're reviving a dead topic. There really is no solution.

Hehe, I looked at a topic from the very last page, suggesting we have a Community Game Night instead of a Bombing Run, my how far we've come.

There is really no need to.  They don't hog up that much memory..

No. It's cool looking at threads from when the site was first released...... er, I mean, the explosion.
