Little did she know that ring would become irrelevant as soon as the next patch came out...

Personally, the forums have been rather stale lately. It's been very entertaining seeing old threads pop up again, bringing back memories of the beta and early launch.

I've always found it weird how there seems to be this unspecified line between creating a thread too similar to another one and bringing one back up that relates to a topic you want to discuss if it's been off page 1 for too long. Wouldn't it be preferable, in terms of searching, to have -fewer- threads on the same topic to sift through? Even if you don't create a new thread on the same topic until after it's bumped off the first page, you're still going to eventually have a huge mess of threads when trying to search a particular topic. Or is it just a convenient "out of sight, out of mind" type thing?
