I'm all for maintaining a technical site with enough posts to make the library of congress look like an amateur, but as with most BB systems, there exists a pruning option. I know people get all bent out of shape over necroposting sometimes, but I guess I'm posing two things here.
First, what is CF's stance now on necroposting, and secondly, if necroposting isn't really desired, can't we just prune some of these forums down to keep the most interesting and fresh posts up in the forefront of everyone's attention?
Having a dedicated forum to dump posts, i.e. an archive, usually comes with forum software anyway, so we're not really losing anything.
