Threads stay open until they die a natural death[unless they breach the AF Guidelines].Deciding exactly which ones are dead can be tricky.
It's not a tough call ,however,when someone dives into the archives,picks a long-dead thread,and drags it back to the top of the board by adding a comment that adds nothing to the original discussion.Often,the members who have created the original thread have moved on and no longer visit AF.
If you went into a bar,would you try to continue a conversation that was finished before you arrived?I don't think so.
If you think that a topic is still a good talking point,start it afresh.The AF community is a constantly-changing one,and the views of former members may be slightly interesting,but they are not really that relevant.
