I have recently bought a set of Revs from that PSA that was posted and have been looking at possible damper upgrades.
There are numerous threads (now closed) on this topic on here on the topic of upgrades, ranging from the straight forward moco out, charger in swap, to using lighter weight oil swap and the more ambitious moco mods.
Like this one https://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/yari-ok-or-swap-damper-or/

Amongst others!
Why close these topics? surely they are still relevant since there seems to be a mass sell of lower end forks which may benefit from upgrades.
Do we get them reopened or do we start again? It would be nice to get some feedback from those who posted with the lesser usual upgrades!
PS. I know the charger damper is the real way to go, if I could have afford a pike in the first place I woulds have bought one.
Why close these topics?
AFAIK, they close automatically after 12 months inactivity. Unlike other closed threads that are closed due to overly enthusiastic activity.
As hols, it's automagical.

We end up with these duplication on the front page, let alone 3+ year old threads that no one can find or remember. You'd also get zombie threads resurrected by bots as still occasionally happens. Equally we'd still have occasional deliberate post on threads about improving rod brakes because they're still obscurely relevant to someone.

That's an occasional occurrence though, not a common one. You can't base a policy on rare occurrence unless it's about ensuring is rarity.
Also bare in mind in this specific instance that the info on those threads may well be wrong by now. Eg a 2019 moco revelation might be possible to upgrade to a charger but a 2021 one might not, or a 15mm x 100mm axle one can buy boost can't etc. so it's possibly that they aren't relevant anyhow without done specific info that's not in those threads because at the time it was a granted.
In a nutshell. They close automatically after 12 months, it was mainly done to reduce spam and it worked.
