I did find one redeeming feature of the US forums. They don't have that dreaded link at the bottom of open threads (namely, "message listing") that can land you on any page in the history of the forums. Possibly one of the reasons why old threads get dragged up. A new member will click on a current thread, then see the link at the bottom thinking it's taking them back, but could land them on page 100. They don't realise, so comment on a thread on that page. Whammo, a dead thread has been dug up from the graveyard. Maybe we should be calling them "easter threads", they've risen from the dead 😄
