Necroposting not good - so why do the forum advertise 5 years old threads?

And I wholeheartedly agree with you on that. I also used to get frustrated on the forums we just left, when I would run into older threads about one-third of the way down. A <Read-Only> would be so very helpful, so that none of us wastes our time replying on something deemed too old to respond to. Come on, EA, I know you can do a better job of it.
