I'd just like to point out (and I'm sure I speak for all mods/admins here) that there is nothing wrong with creating new threads. It's when the threads are rehashed or identical to current threads that they will be closed. If you have a unique outlook on a subject but it is similar to a current thread, sometimes you will get more response by reviving an old thread.. sometimes a new one. People just need to remember to use the search function not only to see what threads are out there, but what viewpoints have been expressed in those threads.
For myself, I get tired of seeing all the relationship threads. Most people can get answers to their questions/problems whatever simply by reading past threads on the subject. *If* the question/problem is truely unique (not just unique to the person who has the issue) then start a thread. Other forums it's quite easy to see when/why/how the need for new threads should be handled.
