Suggestion: Can old threads be locked so that new messages cannot be added?

Is it possible to lock threads which are over say a year old (or maybe over 6 months old).

I don't mean deleting them... as old message threads can be very useful.

But what happens at the moment is that an old thread can be revived by someone posting on it. For example My Lovely Nanny Is Leaving from May 2006 has been revived recently by someone posting an ad on it.

Just a suggestion.

What do you think? Is that something you would like to happen to old threads?

MNHQ, is it possible technically?

We can certainly think about it, nannynick.

Can see why reviving an old thread can be irritating (as in the instance you cite) but sometimes it can be quite fun for posters to dig up an old one and reminisce/say how times have changed etc etc - I'm thinking of threads in Mumsnet Classic, for example.
