suggestion: auto lock threads older than a year

[rmcin329]

By older than a year, i mean threads that haven't been posted in for a year or more. I don't know if something like this could be implemented or not, but it would help to cut down on people necro posting in threads that are several years old, which seems to occur somewhat frequently.

As implied by Cookies thanks, this is something we like to do. We used you run a script that'd close threads that hadn't had activity in 3(?) months. But when some attempted forum hacks happened, unimportant forum scripts were shut down as a precaution. You ask, how on earth could a hacker breach the forums through a thread closing script? I don't know, but it seems better safe than sorry.

Looking into bringing this back.

i'm not an expert or anything, but admins might want to look at this
