All threads are held by the same rules -- given the fact it was bumped for the sake of the necro trend going on, they closed it in that regard.

It's not the search function because if you look at most other language forums you can see they keep certain threads alive that's been around for at least a year, whereas on NA side..it's like an explosion of duplicate topics on the same subject over and over -- they tell you to search and bump topics with relevant info -- essentially the opposite of what happened.
