@SteveH posted:Also, the suggested implementation is unclear to me, if hypothetically an older post's reply functionality were disabled (either automatically or otherwise), how would you suggest that someone could reply with a "Legitimate" reason?
I think OP was just proposing a simple "This is an old thread, are you sure?" dialog. Not unreasonable. I just disagree with the premise--I think continuing old threads should be encouraged, not discouraged. What harm does it ever do?
