I am wondering why FT doesn't automatically close threads to new postings after a certain period of time? I see Moderators admonish posters if they resurrect a thread that has been dormant as information may no longer be current, or is not relevant to current events. They subsequently close the thread themselves.

In some of the other boards I have frequented in the past, the threads were closed to new postings after a year if there were no new posts to that thread. This would save the moderators some time in policing this issue as well as keeping things current. A poster could always add a link back to the original closed thread if they needed to reference it.

Just inquiring....
