I've been seeing a few threads recently that last response was from 2014 or 2016, being brought back up by either a new member, or someone wanting to add their 2 cents to a 3 or 4 year old discussion. It's just a minor inconvenience seeing a necro thread come up clogging up the more recent posts, particularly in the request section.

Yeah. I did that by accident one day when I joined here earlier this year. I was told by TomS. to not bring old post back to life. I've learned my lesson and I just read those when I'm offline. I really think that locking them up should be the best solution to stop people from commenting on them and prevent them from coming back alive.

I also think that we should PM each other about a topic that we see that is old. That should keep the discussion areas clean.

Yeah it might be reasonable to impose a lock, at least for ancient threads. I would be inclined to exempt requests though. It can be irritating to see a request bounced or brought back to life, but it beats duplicates.

This concern pops up every few months.
I thought it would be neat if, at least in certain subforums, only posts that contained attachments would cause the thread to be bumped to the top. This could stop threads from being necro'd by hapless commenters who aren't themselves adding content.
