You're asking the wrong guy, I don't have direct access to the servers. What Vince has told me about the rule fits with databases as I understand them, and I trust Vince. Stop whining over having to make new threads - it's literally a non-issue. Every one of your old posts are still right there on the forum, publicly viewable for the world to see. The only reason for this outcry is because you seem to have some sentimentality for threads which are literally identical to every other, aside from their ID number. It's honestly ridiculous.
