I don't know really know what to say on the matter. On the one hand, necro-ing a thread can have all sorts of weird consequences, like pushing newer threads out of the line-up you see when heading to the forums, and, personally, I always feel weird when I see such huge discrepancies between one post and another.

However, on the other hand, necro-ing a thread means being able to use any new information to take a look back at old posts and respond accordingly. Overall, I'd say that instead of simply a necro-policy, we should have a post-length polic first and foremost.

See, I see a lot of complaints about forum threads becoming too long, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any actual restrictions for controlling that, either. It's just kinda expected that we'll eventually wise up and start another thread continuing from where the last left off. But how about a combination of these two policy types?

If a necro-ed thread is past a certain number of posts and left alone for a given amount of time, it's automatically locked down. How does that sound, guys?
