If people aren't handicapped enough to bump out of date threads, then there's no reason to delete them. You caused your own problem Cryptic. Cut it out.
I like having large archives of all our old history. That doesn't mean I want to post in it all the time. Now, if people want to bump old topics in the gallery, then I'm more than happy to join them! But seriously, don't bump old stuff that nobody cares about. It's just going to make everyone dislike you.
