I think we can try to reverse the page number, e.g.
from
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
to
7,6,5,4,3,2,1
So when time goes by, you just add a large number for the front page, so previous link keep unchanged with the contents,
Should always be the same page.

This makes indexing of active threads in forums and blogs quite useless. On my own blog I have stopped the problem by giving all meta pages a "noindex,follow" robots meta tag in the header. This causes only the single articles with permanent URLs to be indexed.
If a thread or article is sorted by add time, then fix url has it advantage.
But even for active threads or articles, usually the `activeness` will be converged after sometimes, so the url is still fairly fixed after sometimes. (for example, some bloggers/forum disabled comment function after a certain period of time)
Yes, it might be useless for the search engine to return the listing page rather then the article page to normal useful, but the bottomline is : it should give some advantages (even little) for SEO since a fixed url pointing to the target.
