Old Threads being bumped

[Princelex]

In the last week, I've noticed a lot of old threads, some going back to 2007, have been bumped up for conversation and a lot of people here get mad or confused about that. I've seen in sections here, that old threads are locked but they aren't locked in the MTA Bus and Subway forums and I want to know, is there a way to get threads locked after a certain amount of time for the whole site? I'm fine with it either way but I wanted to ask.

According to this thread, there is no such feature.

This is something that I can do to combat this. Give me a fewskies to look it up. It wouldn't auto-lock a thread but it will hide them sort of.

Okay so I've added a modification that would remind a user that a thread is so and so days old. This should help curb the number of old threads being bumped.

 

Check it out here. :cool:

Looks good. Exactly how old does a thread have to be though before the notification starts to show up?

I set it to 180 days, around six months.

Good, and I'm not going to name names, but it's obvious there's at least one person guilty of it. I should hope this gets thru to him to let old threads stay dead.
