So here's the situation.
Let's say someone has a post that is REALLY REALLY REALLY popular and it's
active even days or weeks PAST the day you set to auto-close comments. I
think it would make more sense to close comments only after a post has
been inactive for more than X days, rather than cutting it off completely
even if it's still active.
Sure, someone will likely set it really high if they have active posts,
but sometimes a post becomes active a lot later, which could be closer to
the date that the author set.
I'm recommending that the auto-close comments feature be changed to auto-
close comments X days after inactivity, aka, no more comments have been
made. This way it can more effectively keep communication open on the
blog.
