A lot of forums (EVE Online's for instance) have an auto thread lock feature after 90 days of inactivity. If no one has anything to say about something after three months, I think it's dead, JimUnless you're a professional necro or something, most are inadvertant, say if you're using search, and forget to check the dates before adding your two cents.
Anyway, I'm not sure anyone is so necro-friendly (or should that be necro-curious?:0) that this would actually be a problem. What does everyone think?

Not a bad idea, but i could be a problem for various character build threads, quest guides, etc.
They can be inactive for a long time before an update is required.

No.
Because then we would not be able to heap scorn and ridicule on those unfortunate folks who accidentally necro stuff.

I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

yeah nah.
closing off threads could lead to more threads being opened and it's hard enough (at times) navigating through the threads we have already!

/no
Sometimes threads go dormant for a while... but still contain useful information, and can be relevant... Closing threads just because they are old, is just limiting.(Say): Haywire says, '"Hey, I don't come into yer home and play with things."'

How about a confirmation dialogue?
"No one has posted in this thread for 3 months are you sure you want to leave a reply?"
