I'd be willing to bet the javascript trash forum that we're supposedly migrating to won't allow that feature without months of changes. Pretty sure you could just add a query to the existing forum to check the age of the most recent post, and if it's greater than several months; disallow the post. SMF probably wouldn't be that hard to extend.

Hmm, is it that hard to take a look when the first post was posted? I am aware many people here just jump to the last post(+/-s) and don't bother to check the date but this is in the first place their fault and I reported them several times in the press section.

I saw it was from like 2014 or something, but wasn't too long ago in the grand scheme of things. Also, the forum isn't a live-only-thing, not just "guys, it's older than 10 min old, forget it!!!"

Personally, I used to report every bumped topic older than 3 months. I don't see why should a discussion be made after such long period.
If an old topic contains genuine information and is very important to the community then it is ok. Other topics have to be used as a reference in a new topic (season 2 somehow).

I think we really need to have a serious discussion on this one. Especially that we always pinpoint to the newbies to use search function. If they just use the search function to look for the topic that they want and bump to an old post (several months ago and inactive already). What do you think is the best way to approach it? Comment on the old thread and make the topic/discussion going or just make a new thread?

Though I would like to say that I always see comments from the high-ranked members criticizing the newbies that their topic of concern is already been discussed on the old posts and they are just seeking for merit. I do not know, I really think that this is a critical issue or am I just overthinking it?
