Hard to say here. However, the SPG forum has been trending towards recycling even very old threads into Master Threads for various hotels. In the context of single properties, I think this makes sense, as you can get a survey of the property over time, see if management issues are persistent, etc.

I'm not so sure if that translates too well into the character of the CO Forum. Can you imagine if xyzzy were attempting to create master threads in the CO Forum? Where to begin?! Would stink-shields and sewage volcanos be merged into a master-thread? Would Audacious and Unmitigated flatulence belong in that thread, or in its own thread? What about the one-hit wonders asking for compensation; Lump each thread together or let each enjoy the glory it well-deserves?

Perhaps we can start some master threads for twice or thrice-weekly topics such as, "CO XX diverted to YY today - why??" and "Damn, my EWR-CLE flight is delayed 45 minutes due to ATC today - what am I to do?"

What's the oldest relevent thread you can find to bump?
 
After matthweski posted that upgrade thread from 98 I started to wonder what's the oldest thread out there on the CO that can be bumped back to life in a relevant manner...perhapses a vile, twisted individual could dig up the co-pay changes/EQM rhubarb of several years ago...and ask if there were any new developments!

Not very old, but always relevant (and it's not a fat thread): http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=560401.

HEB frozen rhubarb, available most consistently at Central Market, is a decent substitute for fresh rhubarb. I never even tried rhubarb until I married a Brit and he introduced me to the culinary glory of the noble vegetable. Pie or crumble with a tin of Ambrosia custard - yummmmmmm

Does this mean I am not "relevant"?

What is this Doritos thread you speak of? Sounds like it's a shame I missed it (must have been before my time).

It seems every time I hear more about BD, the better it sounds. Turns out that BD Golds making mileage redemptions at Y redemption rates get automatic upgrades to Premium Economy. These comped upgrades apply to any passenger booked with the BD *G member's miles (whether traveling with the BD *G member or not).

Thanks to CO for not offering incentives to fly them past 75K...otherwise I would never have found this very interesting FF program. :D

Looks like it had been locked and then deleted.
I did EXTENSIVE search and these are only hints as much as I can get...
