I thought about what Spaw and Jim said, and realized that individuals who want to know something are either going to look into the archives, or they aren't. If they are the sort to look to the past, they can use Supersearch as easily as I (or any volunteer indexer) can. If they are not, putting link collections into threads or the Site Map isn't going to be any help to them.

I guess the thing to do is bring good old threads to the top by adding to them (for some reason I wouldn't feel comfortable just adding "refresh").

And of course I am eager to see what He has up His sleeve regarding the permathread system.

PS to Spaw - I've read all your guitar brand threads (I think) and I think they're a great idea. But I see what you mean about them not working in spite of being a good idea.
