How do you do accomplish your suggested changes with Op owner (Lauda) gone? Do you petition theymos to assign this thread a new owner (which is surely possible, but would theymos do it?)? Or maybe the thread needs to be locked and a new thread created?
Someone - BlackHatCoiner for example - creates a new thread, then theymos (or any other global mod AFAIK) can unpin the old one and pin the new one. That way mods can see that the replacement is better than the old thread, as opposed to just taking someone's word for it.

Like this clown here LOL
I am sure that having a track record is helpful in terms of perhaps maintaining a thread.. but what is the idea of pinning?
A new thread might refer to the old thread (and linking it) and then perhaps summarizing aspects of the old thread (including perhaps updating some information). What would the pinning do? close the old thread and then link to the new one?
