We need one of those "working groups" governments are so fond of, and study what it is that causes a whole bunch of very old threads to kick back into life.
It must be pretty damn hard to even dig them up in the first place, so maybe there is a trick to this, such as a search, and this displays relevant POSTS, but gives no indication as to WHEN the thread finally died.
It is likely that those who resurrect the threads simply reply with their own view, and assume that a thread is a thread, and do not think to have a close look at the date stamp on it.
When simply browsing for the latest gossip, you just don't see these old threads UNTIL someone raises them from the dead, and they then end up with a new lease of life, with the fact it is an old thread quickly forgotten.
I am sure I mentioned this before, but does vBulletin have a function where threads that have not had a new post added for some lenth of time can be closed. This would FORCE a new thread to be started should the subject matter need revisiting. If not, could Vortran do it
