"I do admit that I'm unclear as to what format this is taking... Will it be the threads themselves permafrosted? Or would it be a thread that contained links to the top threads, which would then just be left in the normal forum?" ....Sean M

Sean, I think the basic idea is to create a Permafrosted FAQ section with click links to the 10 classic threads. The classic threads could be in turn permafrosted to prevent additional postings, or they could be left as functioning threads. Max has expressed a desire to hold Permathreads to a minimum, so 10 classic permathreads may not be an option.
