Necroposting
I suggest making necroposting against forum rules. It is a pretty standard rule on most forums and it is weird that the rule is adopted here... for those that don't know necroposting is posting on a old topic bringing it to the top of the page... causes annoyance and confusion and any time where the old topic may be relevant it is easier for the thread poster to post a link to the old topic rather than each person who reads the thread reading messages not knowing they are old/having to search through the entire thread to find the new posts.
Another problem is topics going off topic to the point where they are an entirely different subject to that in the subject title.. there are several times where someone posts a new thread in the stanley forums relating to topic x only to be told it was already being talked about in the thread titled topic y.
These are just basic message boards rules that make the forums more functional for all and are generally pretty standard.
