Threads should be automatically locked after 30 days of inactivity

Question

I happens every now and then. Somone dredges up a years old post and askes a question sometimes only remotly related to the origonal thread, often it's more like "I am having this problem too but the fix did not work".
Today a thread from 2005 was resurected on the LabView forum. 
Seroulsly 30 days of inactivity shuld be plenty, you can always reference the old thread of you have a simmilar question that was not answerd in the origonal thread.

Answer 1

While a good idea, it probably needs to be fine tuned.
Maybe it should only apply to new users below a certain amount of posts. Seasoned users might want to update an old thread, for example if a better solution has been developed or to add a comment that the problem no longer occurs in newer LabVIEW versions, etc.
(Part of the problem stems from the search requirement before posting. Given some odd terms, it might present some really old threads and the user might just append to a search result, not realizing that the search engine here is still really bad.)
