Thank you for posting the topic. I had a robust conversation with the mods about it. The consensus is to not implement it. TripAdvisor is given as the prime example of where threads are closed at a specific time. Folks find it unwelcoming to find a thread that is right on target but has been closed due to lack of responses. Mods agree they would rather that an old thread be bumped than have this happen. They then have the opportunity to decide whether to leave the thread as is, split the new post off into a new thread, or move it to a newer thread where a similar conversation is occurring This seems more welcoming of members.
