Interesting, it looks like the archive hasn't been fully indexed. Point taken. However I will also point out that most forum software I've used has an awful search as well (usually I resort to Google) so I'm not sure whether Discourse is any better. > A forum also makes it possible for someone to continue a thread from x > years ago with new related questions or information.

Most forums frown on "necro-posting" like that because it's often misused and reopens a completed discussion with something barely related (and forces everyone to re-read a bunch of long forgotten posts to get the context), so I'm not so sure that's a positive.
