Let old dogs lie

I have noticed lately that if a newbie opens an old thread they get slammed doing it. It happened to me when I first joined as well. Just a suggestion...

How difficult could it be to open an Archives section that showcases old threads. These threads can be closed but available to anyone who logs into the site. Also, you can make them by year. Old threads for 2003, 2004, and soon to the group...2005. That way the new guys won't feel stupid when they try to help someone out...it isn't the easiest thing to see the date when it was posted. You just want to give your .02c worth so bad that it slips your mind to check.

Just a suggestion.

It doesn't bother, me. I like helping anyone and everyone. Most ppl to do that, I don't think they realize it's an old thread. I don't mind it tho. But that is a very good ideal.

Personaly I preffer to leave the threads in respective forums and open. THat way if there is a reson to bring it back to life it can be done without moderator involvement.

Maybe people just shouldnt slam these people but just simply remind them that the thread is old and utdated. If the question still hasnt been answered it must not be important or the question asker has moved on...
