not much of an "new idea" more of a suggestion, since ALOT on eere seems so outdated it has become irrelevant, and is only creating confusement

I certainly would like there to be somekind of archive/trash forum thingy, where topics (and posts) would go to upon deletion.

I don't really want to delete them, and if you hide them, it makes the forum look barren.

Yeah, subforum for each forum sounds good.

maybe active/unactive parts, or newer/older than..

personally a lil actual deleting would seems to me
