Just sticking my head in to say that the "Resolved Suggestions" forum was meant for bug fixes and other things that had literally been resolved. Discussions and other things that might require a bit more than simply "yeah sure, I'll fix that" probably don't belong there or shouldn't really even be locked.
Really the suggestions forum should be for discussing SUGGESTIONS only, but then we needed a place to put bug reports and things in the early days of this forum. Perhaps including a [discussion] tag, and adding a [resolved] tag would be good. I'd be fine with removing the subforum and leaving topics open because I can't see people necroing a bug report or something unless it was necessary.
Really though I think a bigger deal has been made out of closing a suggestion, it doesn't take ire to get a topic reopened for discussion, a nicely worded PM will suffice.
