[wp-forums] Closing down threads regarding old versions of WP

[Josh Lobe]

Even six months seems to be a long time when we are working something as 
dynamic as WordPress.

In my experience.. if the next reply is more than a month or two older 
than the previous reply (on any thread).. then the items are typically 
unrelated.
Perhaps this would encourage (force) newer users to being a new thread.. 
instead of responding to something 'dead'.
And.. when a new user does respond to a 'dead' thread... they are 
usually informed by a mod to begin a new thread.

Seems we have come full circle...

Just my $0.02 :)
