The Thread Archive: Whats up with that?

I wonder if maybe we could have a place to report threads we feel are worthy of being archived, because frankly after looking in the archives now you guys are obviously asleep at the wheel here.
 
And the viewer card threads? Most of the suggestions are gar-bage, you should delete all the ones that stink, like any I might have put in there.  But seriously the archive should be a living and breathing thing not a warehouse that gathers dust with cheesy viewer card threads.
 
Besides most people in there are only here for two posts then disappear, thats not board history those people aren't a part of this place, more like tourists or out of towners in for the weekend.  Cast of their oppression adult swim and look to your roots, look to past and at the present and pluck the diamond in the rough from the heaps of trash we call folders. Do it for your children, and their children.
 
Anyways, I think my "People who say retarted are retarded" thread was pure gold and deserves serious consideration. 
 
But come people post links and such other magics to threads you deem worthy, this is apparently the place to do it.  And role play while you do it or die! *shakes fist*

Also though, I'd like to say that - the boards are a lot of things.  And I think it's cool to go ahead and archive the suggestion threads as they are.  Because the boards are those people as much as they are you and me.

I think there are a lot of things that can make a thread archivable.  Humor, intelligence, just sort of being part of the history of the board and/or the block, stupidness, just - anything that stands out, either for entertainment value or humor or just a good conversation, or is representative of a larger trend, or is historically significant.

I think there's a lot of users out there, and it'd be neat if the archive could represent us all, in all our moods, as well as representing life on the boards, and the block in general.

That always runs the risk of someone clicking the link and necro-posting in one of the  board's first threads.  Makes me weary of people posting "WOAH THIS IS OLD! zOMG!!!" or my favorite (when talking to a poster who hasnt been on in 13 months and is therefore a shady) "Shut up n00b no one cares!"

See, thats where you are wrong. 
My mother told me differently, and I don't think your calling my mother a liar are you? 
 
But I peruse a lot, and I sometimes just see threads that are hilarious after about 20 posts but then all the people looking for a laugh show up and spout inane nonsense, which usually is funny except when it's forced, like all my jokes, thats why I bought a book.
 
So maybe since you apparently don't mind, if I see a gem of a thread, I will come here and post about it in my thread, then maybe someone with more computer smarts would be nice enough to link it for lil ole me.
 
Although I do worry about potential necrobumping like The Crimmster  mentioned, I think ever possible precaution should be taken against mo-rons ruining old threads with mind poop.  But youz guys can delete any posts right? Trim the fat so to speak? And most of the first pages of threads are either unreadable or locked anyways.
 
So yeah.

Serious?  Okay, here's one I'd like to see considered for archiving (just appended onto the first one in the archives, to make less clutter, maybe):

I believe the recently floated thread by "Float my Threads" is archive worthy just due to the sheer amount of hilarity by alt names, who knew they could be so funnies.

Yeah. I think that Crimm has a point.

I was going to say prepare to be spammed with requests for immortality.

I was then going to say that my thread about suicide is pretty neat. But maybe it is too real for the S & P.

Is that still going?  If it's still active I might check it out and book mark it.  I don't want to archive something that's still active.  Want to wait for it to die down first
