Basically, I need to deal with the topic bumping, and it looks like I'll have to prune topics beyond a certain age. This will be good for two reasons:
#1: It keeps people from bumping older topics because they simply aren't there to bump
#2: It saves on server space because there is less data being stored.
The downside to this is that any old topics that are actually useful will have to be moved to Archives before the topic goes off the margin where it auto-deletes it.
If you have any comments or suggestions on this, I'd like to hear them. I'll wait about a week before actually acting to see if someone has a better idea.
