Discourse threads auto-close

Why does discourse topics auto-closing after some time? It means even I have same question, must open new subject. Also, can’t reply when have answer.

Not sure this useful or what is the rational reasons for that feature enabled here?

“Necro-posting” (the act of resurrecting an old thread) is typically a source of spam, and confuses searches and newcomers. Plus, if nobody answered in more than a month, chances are there is nothing to answer.

Nothing prevents you from opening a new topic linking to the closed one; and, you can always ask an admin to reopen a topic.

Well, maybe reasonable on API changes that makes ‘necro’ status for posts older than month, lol

I have no idea what that means.
