How about locking threads that are inactive for more than a certain period of time, so that they are "read only" so new (and old) members don't resurrect stuff from 5+ years ago. It's happening quiet often lately and the little "inactive thread notice" seems to go unnoticed by them.

In the past week alone, I can think of two examples of this happening. One was a guy offering to buy a Colt Grizzly from another member that posted a pic in a thread from 2004-ish. The second was about the FBI issued pistol from 9 years ago. People don't seem to may attention to the dates.
