Locked Thread I created. Why?

Why is this thread locked?
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/life-with-the-54-after-a-few-months.786109/

 

thats a silly question, because it's old.

 

maybe I'm losing my mind or just getting old but I thought I have commented on older threads than this one before.

 

IIRC there is a set time limit where it locks the threads automaticly, so I guess it simply passed that limit.

 

After 1 year of inactivity threads are auto locked iirc

You can just make a new thread, ping the users attention and include a link to the old thread as a reference.

 

@toughasnails

Blair , Can you unlock Toyo's thread?
Thanks!

 

Thats the reason for sure....all unlocked now.

@Shawn I put a link to his thread in your first post in the CF-54 FAQ too.

 

Fantastic!

 

Not everyone knows the Xenforo software treats old threads with no recent activity differently than the old vBulletin forum software. I did not think it was a silly question, especially from a long-term community member that got used to more than a decade of the old forum software allowing threads to remain active forever. The first time that happened to one of my old threads I was like, what the heck is going on here. But, all is well that ends well.

 

vB had a ton of security issues. Water under the bridge at this point, but I agree xF is garbage forum software.

I second this. It is not a silly question - and it's a pretty frequent question at that. I think the reasoning is that old thread necro is usually spam.
