^love your work, James^
But yeah sorry I just don't see how pinned inactive threads are clearer than a thread organized to link out to each list, indicates who runs it, status (official or fan), active|inactive, and other important information clearly articulated would be. Your house, your rules though. But yeah, your old posts are never coming back so best to unpin those now empty threads (perhaps post first on them so you can easily back track to them if CS is able to pull an act of god and recover them)
