Not a bad idea, if it was implemented maybe back in 2013 haha.
Now it's almost a colossal task of 5000+ posts. I don't think anyone would feel hard done by if say, a thread dating back to 2015 was pruned/archived, but by god good luck getting through all those threads.
There's also a case of bias potentially permeating into this process - and it wouldn't matter if this was an admin/coder/some poor soul that was doing it, they may move something where they *think* it might go or that they *think* this is a bad idea and this might ruffle a few feathers if, for example, the thread had many posts or was conceived by the community to be "good".
The Bad idea subforum has quite a clear consensus that it's not a fit for the game, while the good idea subforum is even more clearer - it's in the game.
The idea limbo subforum is a hot mess though, i'll say that much and nobody will cry if it goes. Honestly, I think feature discussion should be a separate sub-forum altogether (replacing this), which provides feedback to stuff added in the changelog, which might offer better feedback and/or balances.
