Thing is, it gets a bit hazy because you *also* get people who are just bumping the old question thread, so there's no new info, so you don't neccessarily click on a question thread and *know* that it's an answer.
However, it does seem like, space-wise, the best solution is to try to have one thread per DVD release (or per movie), and to just change the title of the thread. For instance, changing the question thread to "Office Space SE -- finally happening" or something.
Probably these two threads could be condensed into one with that title, but, hey, I'm not a mod either. I wouldn't mind if there was a definite answer one way or the other one this, though.

And how do the two threads take up more space? If I post in this thread or post in the other thread, don't my posts take up the same space? In theory anyway?

Speaking for myself, I was happy to see this thread. I remember the "Will it Happen?" thread and read a page or two of it when people were contemplating their navels about it, but I quickly lost interest in it and would not click on it again even if it was bumped, but this thread title obviously drew my attention and is worthy of its place in the hallowed halls of this forum.
