threads from ages ago.

I sorta noticed that when someone replies from an old thread dating back a year or more, it tends to get deleted or locked because of its age. So I ask why keep a history of the threads and give the option to reply if its going to be thrown in with a lock or something?

Besides, are 2 year old threads really needed?

And the first post was in March of 2005...it hasn't been locked and as far as I know willy updates it quite frequently during the Dell Days.
