I was thinking about implementing a system to help prevent people gravedigging old threads. Basically this system would automatically close threads that havent been replied to say in 1 - 3 months (example can be altered). This system would only be implemented in certain sections however like introductions, off topic, lounge etc. and would only be for normal threads not stickied threads in the section as stickied threads are important and some people may have questions they need answered on them. Just a little thought to prevent gravedigging as some idiot revived that invex couples thread a few days ago and thats where I got this idea from as it can be quite annoying to see threads that were made two years ago suddenly replied to

not needed, unnecessary work for Byte, some threads might become relevant again (although the invex couples revival was stupid i agree)

Yeah I realized that some threads may have become relevant again which would be a problem, although thats why I suggested it to be in certain sections like introductions could be really useful as many players that a new to the forums in an attempt to get enough posts to go for member end up spamming posts on old introductions (even though posts dont count in there), suggestions etc. Could be a good system that would prevent alot of newer users post spamming for member as they would only be allowed to reply to recent threads rather than much older ones, as post spamming is common nowadays, but then again yeah I don't wanna put a unnecessary load of work on Bytes shoulders when there is better things he could do.
