Old threads

[TheShaggyDA]

How about automatically locking threads once they've aged to, say, 4 months without a reply? Or 3 months? Something to stop ancient threads reappearing.

Yeah, its getting annoying now!

I'd say 3 months is a little short as you get the moaners who moan about old threads bering brought up, yet you get other members complaining that a certain topic has been covered before.

You can't have it both ways... if you stop old threads being raised then people will moan about folk starting new threads on old topics.

and what about if a thread after the 3 months i still active?

What's the problem with letting people reply to old threads? If someone wants to reply to an old thread with nothing useful to add then I'm sure they'll catch onto it quite quickly and if people want to post something like that then if they can't then they'll find something equally constructive to add elsewhere.

I don't think they should be locked, but maybe they should have an 'old thread' symbol on them? Like an hour glass or something?
