Threads' start dates next to "Thread Starter"

[psycho sykes]

The title says it all.
Why not have the date of the first post next to the thread starter's name? Some people bump very old threads making them appear new while even their op's have considered it obsolete... Similar to how it's done with "Last post" it's be useful to have it with first post "Thread Starter"

It's a fair idea. And it might (or might not) keep people from bumping 'dead threads'.
The downside is it would add an extra (small) load to the database engine and it's having trouble coping as it is right now.

It's probably worth starting a FeedBack thread in the 'official' Site & Forum Ideas section.
(that's the same as that big red Feedback button floating off the right)
