Moose: Rather than putting the freeze on "new" topics (which would tend to stifle debate, IMO), have you considered archiving any topic to which no new posts have been made in some arbitrary time (say, six months)? Brad, for example, is notorious for digging through long-abandoned topics and bumping them active again - to no purpose, really. In addition, a freeze or closure of the "open" fora might be one additional way of helping cut down on the number of extraneous posts. I would imagine there's a way to sort threads by date, so it shouldn't be too onerous. Just a thought.
