Most threads at about 675 posts on them i come across i now close and leave a post pointing out a newer thread on the same topic and/or asking people who still want to comment to make a new one as i did notice the pages loading up was getting a problem and Sajuuk pointing it out on some confirmed it wasn't just me (i have lots of tabs open and usually Twitch.tv on too).

I don't think a new section would help as like i pointed out not everyone pays attention to where they make a topic and most new threads are still asking things about Skyrim anyway so you'd just be moving the problem to thread with a different name. Personally with the exception of the tricky roleplay section and in the future the TES 6 section i think the current sections are fine.

I did think about suggesting achieving forum sections but wasn't sure how it would work i do think its a extremely good idea IF it can be done without the active threads (or the newest couple of hundred) being affected users who don't know what had happen would be pretty upset if their thread just appeared to vanish from the forum and it may put them off coming back, i also think it would be a good idea if a forum section wouldn't be able to go above 1000 (at the very most) threads with the restrictions of the forum i pointed out above that would keep them manageable. I don't know if its possible but a script that would automatically move the oldest threads to a archive to keep a section at a set amount would be great. Or even a button that a moderator could press (in the menu with close etc) to move a thread into the archive to manually keep the section to a limited number of threads (but i have almost zero knowledge about those things and if its possible).
