Honestly, it's just kind of an internet rule not to post in old threads. I understand what you're saying, and I think you do have a point. But there's lots of gray area with old threads: users who aren't around anymore, a thread that's going to just go in circular discussion, or threads that may not have a use anymore because an answer was already reached or was reached outside the thread. So, just for consistency, we (try to) close threads when the last reply is 30 days or older. We don't give out warnings for it either, just a quick heads up if a user in question is bumping up lots of old threads.
