Moving would lose the structure (or make us duplicate it multiple times) that keeps things organized. The technical threads are in the technical forum, cad threads are in the cad forum, etc. By having them in these forums, you can go to that particular forum and search easily.

I will probably do the locking of old threads again. I'll have to dig up the old thread and do it exactly like last year.

It's on my todo list. [PM me if something you suggested isnt on that list. Send me a link to the relevant thread too.]
Fair enough. I had thought that might be a problem, but I figured I'd suggest it. This might be a ridiculous thought, but what about re-creating the structure in an archive? I.E. having subforums in the "2002" archive identical to the forums from whence the posts came. This might be too much for the database to handle, but it's a thought I had.
