Interesting question. Dredging up old topics--really old--can be tedious. Having said that, posters are (gently?) admonished on occasion for posting anew what was posted in the past--taking heat for not doing 'due diligence' by finding relevant past topics and continuing/expanding a conversation through them.
Perhaps a penalty could be imposed for any member commenting on a post greater than 12 months old (365 days). When crossing the 12 month line, a poster is docked 5 posts from their overall post count for every week past 12 months. Imagine the hit when commenting on a nine year old post. Or, replace their avatar for two weeks with an appropriate, attention getting image. Referring to an old post is fine--no problem there. Commenting on an ancient post triggers the nuclear option. Kidding, of course.
