How about doing it brute force - simply move all topics in C+I older than 3 months (or 6 months or whatever) to the C+I dump, and allow requests in this thread (or through PM) to bring favourite topics back to ordinary C+I.
It will still be possible to link to archived C+I, and the job of sifting through the dust to keep the diamonds will be lessened considerably.
Everyone with time on their hands could search through the C+I archive for their darlings and beg for them to be moved back.
Um. It took me like 20-30 minutes to skim over 70+ pages worth of content when I made my thread categorizing a bunch of threads worth "highlighting".

I suppose for a normal person it might take a bit longer..
