Why are threads being locked after 12 months?

[Pommie]

I just search for a post by another member and even though it's only 15 months old, it's locked.

Everyone gets frustrated when someone resurrects a thread from 10 or so years ago. But 1 year?

Mike.

One year is too long. Start a new thread and reference the old one.

I agree, it's a VERY good idea if threads are locked after 12 months - as gophert said, start a new thread and reference the old one.

If you need to comment, let us know and we can re-open it, but if the thead is dormant for a year, ask yourself.. To whom are you answering..

Also... Threads can get derailed and the only way to stop the train wreck is to close...

Not too long ago I requested a thread already closed, to be reopened for posting a specific request to a the main contributor there.

Very satisfactory. Thanks JimB
