JK & EE - A Permathread is one that is controlled by an individual, and can be edited (e.g. all the old crap cleared out to keep it a sensible length). When it starts to get a bit OTT, you can remove the old stuff and revive the reduced or empty thread so you only carry current stuff in there (also if some prat puts abusive or other improper posts on it, you can get rid of them).
Take a look at the Gainsborough FC Permathread which Sooz moderates - it's a good example.
I believe you need to talk to Joe Offer to get one set up.
