What other sites do however is close them automatically in 6-12 months, but allow you to look at older closed threads, then start a new thread with a direct reference to the older one. That way if the old info was pertinent it is easily accessible, but it prevents people from answering questions that nobody is listening to any more. On one site that had no close time limit, an old thread was resurrected and the new poster was asking questions of the OP, who the rest of us knew had passed away 4 years prior. A TRUE "zombie thread"!
