First, you have to inform people that a thread has been moved, otherwise there is no paper trail to direct people where to find the 'moved' thread.

As new threads are started in MR Deals, the 'moved' threads will move further down page one and eventually off of page one.

While you posting on a FARE GONE thread, it will only show as a new post in MR Discussion, not on MR Deals. So, your post will not bump that FARE GONE thread back to the top of MR Deals. FRom a bump standpoint, the FARE GONE deals are closed on MR Deals, your post will only bump on MR Discussion!

After a certain amount of time (I think a month), the 'moved' thread will disapear from MR Deals altogether.

Since there are still so many 'Moved' threads and not a lot of new threads to flush out the 'Moved' threads, you might see them for a couple of days. But once we start moving FARE GONE threads in real time, there won't be any backlog.

Bottom line, be patient as this new process needs a couple of days to get its sealegs!
