Thanks for raising this question.
I browse the "What's New" section and it is really frustrating to find the "old threads" out-numbering the "new threads". These new comments on the "old threads" are essentially people adding another "like" to the thread and not adding new content to the thread. A better way to showcase quilts from older threads, is to create one new thread with links to these gems.
If this continues to be the way people are using the site, then I will be spending my time else where.
