A better, more flexible feature would be the presence of a "start a new thread with this reply" function. Of course, that still relies on people having the sense to use the damn thing, but if I started getting tougher about locking huge threads, well, people would have to if they wanted to get their posts up. As it is, I'm always a little reluctant to step in and lock things because I fear people will go, "Hmm, here's a thought - oh, but this thread's locked, so I guess I won't bother posting it."
