I'm certainly not going to spend hours of my life going around closing every thread (and there would be thousands of them) that is over 6 months old.
Personally speaking, I don't think this is a big problem. It doesn't happen that often and when it does, although mildly irritating, does at least allow some people to have a reminiscent moment - "Oh, I remember when that was first posted...".
Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, but I don't see this as a problem that needs addressing just now I'm afraid.
P.S. As an aside, no threads get deleted after a specific amount of time now. This stopped happening after The Wasteland forum was replaced.
