Isn't that annoying? Trying to answer to a topic only to find that it is archived? Is there any administrator to whom i could go to and fix this. If a thread is empty for 30 days them just delete it and not lock it!!

The thought was that if no one's replied to a thread in 30 days, then it's time to move on. These days, that might be a bit short, although I'd note that even then, there's a decent chance people have moved on anyway.

Necromancy is frowned upon in most societies.
Still, I shall see what i can do to extend the comatose stage before the thread slips beyond the Veil into the Afterlife.
EDIT: There used to be a seraphy wand that when waved, extended the half-life of such threads. This has mysteriously vanished. I am thinking a pesky cherub is playing pranks.

I second the motion, that would probably be a good call...

I found the wand.
Some pesky cherub had indeed misplaced it.
Now, most forums were set to 30 days. Some, like this one, are set to 60. I reset this to 180, a half year, or thereabouts.
Anything dormant for longer than that should stay dormant. Waking a sleeping thread can be done by any staff member upon request.
