Dear LET admins, it is time to adopt a policy of moving old offers into their own category.
The trend now on Lowendtalk seems to be providers offering free this or free that, double this or double that if you reply with some code.
Some of them also seem to be support threads and they all keep going on with nothing new.
This is resulting in some old offers persisting at the top of the page offering nothing new and TBH it is simply spam.
Here is a sample of a few.

SEA – 8 GB RAM, BGP & Unmetered gigE @ $6/mo. Up to 30% off! DOUBLE RAM!! FREE GIVEAWAY!! — LowEndTalk 5.5K comments | November 2022

The last mentioned is now up to 1042 pages with the last respondent replying with a graphic of the origina post - https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3621690/#Comment_3621690
I do not frequent this site as much as I used to but it is rather disappointing to return some time later and see the same old threads at the top of the pages.
I think the Offers category should be broken down into New Offers and Old Offers, with New Offers being moved to Old Offers after a certain amount time.
I know people need to advertise and sell stuff, but this is just ridiculous and unfair to those who are more modest and not interested in such antics.
PS.
It was even worse at the end of last year when some of the threads from Black Friday 2021 were still lurking at the top of the listings

I agree that something should have been done, but by now I am just used to seeing it. It no longer bothers me.
