OK, so this came up on sm.org earlier and a topic that was split ended up losing some context because of it.
I wondered, then, if it would be of use to keep the origin topic in a split. In the newly split topic, keep a reference to the original topic and provide a link back, ideally not as part of the message body itself.
We have per-message data storage, it's no big deal to get that and stuff a link to the old topic inside the first post of the new one.
I figure that if it wasn't part of the message body, there's no way it could be accidentally deleted by a moderator.
Thoughts?
