In no way does your idea work any better than searching through 1001 separate threads. Your tips are not ongoing conversations with many participants.
Ever try to read though one of the years-long, never-ending, 100 page+ threads at AVS forums looking for an answer? There are too many different conversations going on. Trying to follow the one that interests you is not easy. Imagine if there was only one thread here for VHS capture questions, or only one thread for posting Avisynth questions.

Thread can be set not display old thread warning such as AVStoDVD Support Thread:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/277852-AVStoDVD-Support-Thread/page107
just ask to set specific thread
users still have option to replay on old threads -
Very good thought Unusually_Quiet. I have to agree to that whole heartedly. Looks like maybe there are pros and cons depending on what the thread is and how old it is and a lot of other reasons. I guess thats why it gets debated. Thanks for something I did not think of before.

I always try to ask myself, 'Where is the most appropriate (or useful) place to post this ?' Sometimes the answer is an old thread. There are some factors to consider, like 'How unique is this subject matter ?' and 'Does this logically add to or continue something that was discussed previously ?' If I do decide to start a new thread with that post, my inclination is to start it off with links citing relevant prior threads that serve to preface it -- for anyone sufficiently interested in reviewing that past discussion.
When in Las Vegas, don't miss the Pinball Hall of Fame Museum http://www.pinballmuseum.org/ -- with over 150 tables from 6+ decades of this quintessentially American art form. -
The Japanese 2channel text board is the extreme example of this. They literally do cluster all the discussion about any topic into one thread (one is VHS/8mm capture). The threads are capped to 1000 posts. Then someone starts a new thread linking back to the most recent one as reference, and the cycle starts anew. Worse, the threads are only archived temporarily (officially, behind a paywall). Trying to find any past discussion would be horrendous even if I wasn't also hampered by Google Translate.

I don't understand why proper forums never took off there.
