This is to keep discussion moving forward. Threads that haven't been replied to in over 30 days (about a month) are dead topics. You can still view closed threads, but just not reply to them, so the memories are still there.

This has been standard practice since the 90s really, so many, many forums and sites still have rules about when a thread is considered "old and closed".
