Here's a suggestion whose time I believe has come... Why not plunk a function into the coding of these forums that makes topics which haven't had a post for over some set amount of time auto-lock so that way no one(well, none of the normal members) can revive it for no apparent reason other than to amp up their post count. Nine times out of ten, if I see a topic that has a post gap on it over two months -- and actually, it's usually a gap of a year or more! -- then it's some new person who obviously doesn't grasp the concept of "Let old topics die unless you have something intelligent to add". Thus, they find themselves the victims of a lot of "n00b-saying"; they get themselves mocked early on, and in some cases, either flare back idiotically, or just never return.
In any case, I'm tired of seeing these god damned topics that are older than most members being revived by people with nothing better to do. I emplore you... Add an auto-locking function to topics that haven't had a post in over a month or so...
Thank you for reading this.
