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.

Thank you all for your input and comments.
The policy decision at this time, posted above by the Community Director, is continuing with current FT policy and Moderator best practices and not automatically lock or close threads solely based on the age of the thread.
The purpose of this thread has been fulfilled, so it will now be closed.
