Locking Old Threads.
Seems like we having a bunch of members joining lately that don't pay attention to thread dates. Adding their 2 cents towards conversations that are long over.
Could we start locking really old threads or have a warning like some forums before posting to an old or inactive thread?

I lock them as they come, but there is no way I'm going to spend the time to go lock old threads one by one.
Sometimes an old thread helps, but the ones which were beaten to death will always be locked when I see them pop up.

When I was on w-body.com, if you tried posting in an older thread a warning would come up and say "this thread is xxxx old, are you sure you want to post in it"
I have no idea how old it had to be. Or if its even still like that. I haven't been on there in 5 years or so.

It's just a little preventative measure to make people second guess their post and its significance.
