I routinely watch for threads that have been unanswered for some time. Recently a rule has been implemented to close threads older than 3 months, which is rather restrictive, because now the last few pages of the unanswered threads section cannot be replied upon, but more importantly eliminates the ability to add to threads with new information even if they are a little bit older. Can we institutionalise the rule to close threads with a larger life time, say from 3 months to 3 years?

3 months is a little less...

Apologies for not understanding your point. Less than what?

I was saying the same what you said, it should be increased from 3 months...

Strictly speaking, the title of my thread is even incorrect, as it should read "All threads closed after 3 months" as opposed to just the unanswered ones.

People bump 3-year-old threads to add unrelated problems more often than a solution from what I see.

Thread are automatically closed (at this time) after 6 months, as I recall.

Update:

In the current configuration, threads older than 90 days are automatically closed.
