I know some will say just do a search...but that just seems a long way about getting the info, abnd even then, if the piece you are looking for may be a little one liner in a big long thread you have no chance of finding it.
How often do some real jems of info come up on here, only for them to be forgotton about, and then asked a few months later.
Its not difficult to achieve...it just needs a locked section, with one or two moderators with a bit of techinical know how, who can just look at threads as and when they come up, and if thought useful and they should be copied to the archive (quite happy to volunteer for this). And I'm talking real gems of info here...not threads about which tyres are best or which chip for my blah blah blah. Things like Shazaams posts on regulators and how to overcome the problems, or chain and sprocket combo's...these are always being refered to time and time again.
I understand this was started some time ago, with the old threads being sorted to an archive if thought 'good enough'...but it seems to have not materialised?
Other sites I visit have them and they are priceless after time.

Sort of agree, but would this cut down on new posts which may put a different point of view, or prevent updates of existing posts ?
