Automatically lock old threads

[prototoast]

There are way too many people who accidentally dig up old threads, which either should be dead or are out of date, causing much confusion. Is there a way to automatically lock threads after like a month of inactivity?

Who's to say that it's being done accidentally, or that it "should be dead"? I say leave well enough alone, and don't force newcomers to start duplicative threads in order to join a discussion which has already been started---even if it HAS lapsed for awhile. If someone wants to resurrect an old thread by posting something worthwhile, who does it harm?

[cowpaste]

I agree with Inq. There is really no reason not to start up old threads again. What if somebody wanted to know how to get a girlfriend?

They wouldn't find an answer here, in any case

[Inquartata]

They'd find too many answers, all of them silly!

Silly or stupid?

This thread could close anytime now with very little harm to the fencing community...
