Is there a way to automatically close old topics? Lately ENC has been digging up topics that are 2 years old for no reason. I have seen 8 or 10 already. If a topic hasn’t had a reply in 30 days then it should be automatically closed. If someone wants to post to it again, they can start a new topic and reference the old one, or ask a moderator to re-open it.
Agreed. Necromancy is evil.

+2 (is that allowed?)
Well its a bit annoying the way the ‘recent posts’ gets all clogged up, but rules are over-kill. Besides, our friend ENC has raised some intersting topics, just maybe a few too many.
I honestly dont see a valid reason for closing old topics…
Anyone?
Old topics might as well be left open. Every once in a while someone will go through and post to some old topics for no reason, but is that really any worse than having someone start some new topics that no one replies to?
What’s up with “CaptainJester” and “ENC” having the same picture … I just realized you are not one and the same person! You confused me in the “javadoc” topic …
lol, I replied in the other thread 
I just found out, people is indeed talking behind my back… OUCH!
Maybe it is just me… this is so sad… and no… I and CaptainJester is two differernt person… you can check our IP address… we are located on two different continents.
Cheers!
PS I just noticed we have the same avatar as well… going to change mine soon… >.<
no, you just spend more time looking at old threads 
posting this in a public forum is certainly not behind your back.
also, the two avatars are the same because that is one of the default avatars on the forum (i.e. they don’t need to spend any effort on it… no uploading, no linking, just clicking)
haha… It was meant as a joke… ;D
Maybe I will spend sometime design my own avatar… ^^

too much rules, let anarchy rule
yes, anarchy rules! 8)
Automatic closes suck. However, ENC’s behaviour would have resulted in a ban elsewhere
ahh >.<
THat’s really got to hurt…
SOrry to all those who felt insulted in bring up old topics…
Cheers!
can someone please explain the logic of why bringing old topics back to life is a bad thing ? Especially since he isn’t spamming or anything…
* darkprophet points at historians and tries to find logic for banning them from society…
bringing up an old topic and talking to the original postees as if they’re still active is borderline stupid, after 3 years… alot of posters are inactive
especially bringing up a 3 year old thread with a “me too” kind of post.
