resurrection vs. new thread

[orelinde]

i think it depends on the actual post being brought back into the light. I think that there are certain posts (letter to rookie teams being my favorite one) that should remain at the front of the line. and others that are less relevant to the back. personnally i am thankful to have read the letter to rookies as it completely reflected what i was feeling have just shipped our robot. (went home almost in tears to see it go away for a whole month) but there are other posts that maybe should not be resurrected so it really depends on the posts.

I feel that any thread with over a year of no postings should be locked so that it can't be resurected unless there is a good reason to do so in which case a mod or maybe just Brandon could reopen the thread. While I am not sure of the work load this would cause for Brandon, I feel that after a certain age some things should just be left dead, and that the similar threads feature has made this resurection debate more common in recent months.
