New Subforums - "Collections of Best Older Threads"

I've started to make subforums with the best older threads in them for the convenience of new users. There are several ways to do this, and I'd like to know what you think would be the best way:

1. Make 'read-only' copies of the threads and put them into the new forum. That's the way the first sub-forum is now. The disadvantage to this is that if someone wanted to reply to one of these threads, then they'd have to find the old thread in the main forum. I could put links to the old threads inside the new 'read-only' copies though. But that's extra work...

2. Move the old thread completely into the new sub-forum and make it read only. Preserves the old thread the way it was. Forever...

3. Move the old thread completely into the new sub-forum and make it read/write. Easy access to view AND reply to the old threads.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

S
