Why can't I post to my thread? Planned obsolescence?

Okay. This thread does not indicate that it's been locked, but I can't reply to it anymore. What's up with that? I mean...the last post was on September 1 - not that long ago.

We're always telling people to do a forum search so they don't repeat threads - and then it's impossible to reply.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

After a while a thread will lock itself.

Mods cannot reopen those. Sometimes it's better just to create a new one.

It's not about the time of the last post, but the time of the first post. It's a systematic rule that was implemented years ago after weeks of folks flooding the front page of GD by posting on really old threads. I guess enough people found it annoying enough that this was implemented.

So yeah, in any case, there's nothing the mods can do about it. Feel free to start a new thread.
