automatic lock on really old threads
I have seen a lot of very old threads get resurected, ones where the content is VERY outdated.
Could we auto lock any threads EXCEPT those in the firearms sections after say, one year of inactivity?
i say except the firearme ones cause a thread on a specific model or notion never gets useless.
but an old thread on a bill that has long since died and then a post one year later by someone who found it by google says "Holy Shit ! What do we do ! OMG OMG OMG" is another story.

I was starting to think the same thing...

Not aware of any way to do that in vBulletin.

Keep in mind this may piss off the people who love to nag on people for "not searching" as they may want to continue the topic but are generally told to "search first" and then are nagged on for necro-ing a thread.
Lose lose in some cases.
I dont mind people starting new threads, that's why it's a discussion forum...to discuss things.
I say go for the lock on stuff older than maybe 3 months.

[searches, finds a thread, posts]
[zomggg this thread is old, make a new one!1111]

Re: automatic lock on really old threads
Just waht would be the advantage of locking old threads? I mean, if some one needs more info on some thing, and its locked, they will wind up reviving it by starting a new thread anyways right?
Maybe I am not getting the idea here.Skeet is a sport where you are better to hit half of each bird then completely blast one and miss the other completely.
The choice is yours, place your faith in the court system and 12 of your peers, or carried away by 6 friends.
