Why not go through the older posts on the forum, say that are a year or more older, and just close them all? I see really old ones pop up all the time and some get closed where others don't but they all should fall under the same reasoning.
It'd really keep the forum much cleaner in the end if only current discussions were actively going on.

rujitra1 votesI know you guys were able to alter the displaying of the downvote button on the gameplay boards, or something similar, and there are some boards where voting doesn’t appear at all - is it something that maybe you can’t close them, but remove the reply box or something? Just a suggestion?
Sukishoo1 votesI mean Ive done that on a community Im part of, it's honestly not that hard. Yes it does take time but with a team of people you can usually close groups of them at once.

I have a pretty good idea of the time required per-thread, the number of threads, and the moderation team's size. It's not a thing we're going to do manually.
Modmichaelchan1 votesWhile I'm sure we have the ability to develop tools to automatically perform this task across the Boards, it's not necessarily a priority at this time. We'll continue to revisit this feature periodically in the future, though.
