PSA: Beware of the Necro Threads

[Canadane]

But the problem can stem from the fact that the game has aged 7 years now, much of what has been said about a topic years ago could be entirely out of date. And it often leads to an awkward conversation as people start replying to posts made years ago and will inevitable never get a reply.

The thing with a public forum is you're not directly communicating with people, you're posting ideas or replies for all to view.
People can look upon this information and provide their own input. This doesn't need to have a time limit to it.
Limiting discourse via a time limit doesn't seem like a great idea in any case, especially when people just deem some arbitrary limit to it.

Better to have a conversation with people then a conversation with a old statement.

While I agree to an extent, something from 5+ years ago should really be locked and a new topic, with more recent data, started if the conversation needs to be had. Dredging up posts from that long ago, without putting anything relevant to the discussion, should definitely not be happening.
