| 1463095 | 2019-08-17 06:48:00 | A difficult one I know, however, what is the value of closing threads on Chat?? Far from convinced! I can see, somewhat, that they may be of use in PressF1, where the world moves on. However, can Chat ever end. Maybe a 'rule' in one area is an overkill in another? Food for thought :confused: |

Example: "Windows-10-Latest-Tech-Preview" Its been going since 2015 |

| 1463099 | 2019-08-17 22:08:00 | Threads are auto-closed after 3 months (I think) of inactivity. They are never deleted. We introduced the auto-close due to regular incidents of new users answering a post that was years old. The post would appear in a Google search and they would register to answer the question or say they have the same problem and didn't realise it was from 8 years ago etc. If you need a thread re-opened, then the Mods can do this on request. |
