Rolling out abandoned positions

Every now and again I have the idea that I'll go back through the 200k + messages and tag a rollout to those positions where one wasn't posted. The only issue with that is it will bring to life threads that have been dead for eternities and push the current topics down on the front page. If anyone would like to see this happen just let me know as it's one of the easier things to do on my eternal bg bucket list therefore a lot more likely I'll actually do it.
You are astute to point out the tradeoff of a glut. Perhaps when you notice a period in which few or no positions have otherwise been recently posted, you could post a couple/few such old-thread rollouts (preferably to a minimum of 5k or 100% confidence) -- or maybe just the subset you deem most interesting.
From one who is massively more interested in backgammon positions (or puzzles) than in other topics that appear on this forum (and who often disappears from the site when the lion's share of posts shift elsewhere), thanks for considering this, though I realize you probably need more than just my lone vote.
Regardless of whether you chip away at this project, I strongly encourage people to post (or continue posting) rollouts to their own positions going forward (or in each case courteously notify that they won't be doing so).
Nack
