Moderators are able to change the title of a thread if need be. Your plan sounds good, but I don’t want to wade through the Forums one day in the far future and see topics with ‘ANSWERED’ branded on them. Plus, the thread creator is not always the best person to determine when a thread has served its purpose. I think the way threads grow, develop, and peter out is just fine.
The example of Wolfpac’s annual awards is a good one, but moderators can change thread titles easily.
