But wouldnt you think it would be better  ?
Plus, in 6 months im sure the issue would be gone, maybe extend to 1 year  ?

That's reasonable imo. However, 6 months isn't, because it very well could be about such things that are still relevant. Besides, you can always go through threads, if you see a really old one (whether it's been bumped or not) that's no longer relevant, report it.
Edit: And if things are auto locked, there should be an auto post that says so.

Which would bump the old thread on the front page... |

I didn't think of that. Maybe just a message that says so, where the quick reply box usually is and at the top of the thread.

I don't think we need that.. really old threads aren't bumped that often, it's not like the mods/admins can't handle it

Like andrey said, it doesn't happen often enough tbh.

In most cases, isn't that so they can find the info they need and avoid posting altogether?
A couple months ago I closed all the oldest threads in GCC to prevent them from being bumped, and I could certainly do the same for other forums if necessary... 
6 months is definitely too short though, IMO. I think it should be at least a year.

Yep, I agree, there's not much of a reason to do it at the moment. |
