The problem is that those old posts may contain outdated information or outright misinformation. And it is unlikely any of the involved parties are around to continue the conversation.

Also, long living threads are very difficult to search through for the same reasons.

hmm, i could see a sort of archive system where you save the post as is, but then comment on that in a new thread. could even do that multiple times as updates are needed.
