Linking back a month seems unreasonable. But that only happens if one of us happens to know that there's another thread out there, goes and finds it, and links to it. Then it's right there available to use. Heck, for the Koskie thread that I locked and linked to, all I had to do was use the google search and found it immediately. Whenever the new forum is written, searching will actually be huge, as it will truly work then and it should be much simpler to find related threads. The reason I favor locking new and bumping old is so you don't lose all the previous material that contributed to the conversation.
