How Do You Keep Discussions From Becoming Repetitive?

Communities often revisit the same topics. Should moderators merge threads, create master discussions, or allow repetition for fresh perspectives?

On all my forums, I will always outnumber anyone else when it comes to creating new topics.

It really takes a leader to mitigate this sort of thing.
