I would allso go with this, assuming this "Archive" didnt show in newly made posts. Like, makeing to useless to revive threads there. so people wont

Sounds like a nice idea.

If there is some auto move options that is
Good idea, sort the weat from the chaff... or in this case, rotten weat. Still, i think this might work as good or better then autolock.

Yep this is why i like these polls, ideas evolve

Seems like an archive is a good idea, although to work, fresh posts on +3month old threads should not show up on the "new posts" list. Otherwise it would be redundant...

I would like to have the option to choose though. Isn't there an option today to not see f.ex. posts in off-topic and some other section? Something similar would definatly be appropriate for an archive section imo

It could be useful yes.. I remember when someone revived the thread about a MM being looted and many ppl (including me) thought for few seconds that another one was dropped recently..
It is definetly nice to look at your old threads, be nostalgic from time to time.. but that is one thing and reviving is another..

Interesting, people are divided, yet auto-close is winning. Keep voting

Bump!

So the question is, should these HOF / Uberloots / ATH threads expire after, say, 1 - 3 months?
Cast your vote.
How can one base any timing considerations on posts that are not automatic?

I have read HOFs that say something like, 'Me and Noobguy were hunting Hoggs last friday and we got this Uber loot Etc.

Now being that could be 7 days ago how does one use such for timing?
