3. Have someone index old threads they think are interesting and fit a criteria while disregarding the fact that when people discuss things they're interested in that already exist, we routinely link them back to the original thread. So basically, try to foresee what people will be interested in and allow them to access it all in a thread (On the off chance that they want to discuss that thing) instead of letting them use the search feature.

I'm not trying to be snarky or anything. I'm legitimately wondering whether or not this is accurate in your perspective, and if not, please explain.
1. I don't know that the majority supports it.
2. Correct.
3. That's a patronizing description of the idea. (Bonus suggestion to the mods: be polite to all suggestions in this thread, even if stupid. Otherwise, people are less eager to share.) The blurb fails to take into account two phenomena: members get annoyed when they start threads that are then locked (due to existence of similar threads), and (that happens because) most members won't search. Please, consider the idea - it has no downside, it has worked elsewhere, and (if the right 'classic' threads are listed) it will make the site more active.
