Honestly, this board has more 'thread necromancy' (i.e. bringing years-old threads back from the dead) than any other I've ever been a member of.

I think this is because of the "similar threads" window that comes up in the bottom when you're reading. It frequently shows topics from as far back as the creation of the board. When I last looked it was offering me three from 2002, one from 2003, and one from 2005, with nothing to warn off the lazy reader who may not pay close attention to the "last posted to:" field. Click, read, reply, oops! Zombie thread.

Could this be changed to display only topics that have been posted to in, say, the last two months or so? Seems like that wouldn't be a huge amount of work and I suspect would eliminate the problem entirely.
