    Yes, so instead to keep threads from being locked users will necro threads annually or biannually. Then again, that's done anyway. I don't think this would really solve anything.

    Could this process even be automated on these forums in the first place?

    You'd have to be pretty desperate for attention if you're willing to necro your threads on an incredibly regular basis.

    It gets done quite often around here actually, it seems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    If it's done nightly, once you get through the initial chunk of locks, it wouldn't be that much of an issue TBH.

    This forum looks like it based on phpBB (or very similar to it) so yes.
    Also possible with various other methods like RPA.
