Option A for me Dan...

How exactly would it work...

Say the Topic is January GNE Services, obviously we discuss said changes, would that topic then be locked and archived once the changes come into effect so we can move onto the next topic...Does that make sense?

As for GNE Latest, 19k posts in one thread is crackers, I have never seen one thread topic go on so much, so split and archive it every 4 -6 weeks or when it reaches 500 or 1k posts, whichever comes first.

Could threads be archived in a way that they could be offered as downloads, archived as a text file, so if people want to cross reference information they can download the thread.

I agree we need to keep all the information that is already here, but something does need to be done about the amount of information going into one thread...

As you pointed out Dan, we come up high in Google, I have done random searches in Google and I have found NEB sometimes having 3 or 4 links in the top 10 and it is vital we keep that going
