Somewhare around 2021, they started allowing subs to not autolock all posts if the mods want to allow it, thus leaving the <evil> list of <Online forums that lock threads after some time>!

TODO find official announcement:

Reddit allowed posts to not automatically archive after 6 months as a sub setting

Like <Reddit> (https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/pze6d2/commenting_on_archived_posts_images_in_chat_and/[option to allow it per community added in late 2021]) and https://support.google.com/[].

And of course, <4chan> just takes that to a whole new level, usually closing on the same day, and then getting deleted within a week. Why would anyone contribute non-<illegal> content to that king of system?!

Ridiculous, so when new information comes out, we just duplicate all the old comments on a new thread again?

Remember, <Ciro Santilli> is the <Ciro Santilli's Stack Overflow contributions>[Necromancer God].

<Dan Dascalescu> agrees for <Reddit> specifically: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/9oujwf/why_archiving_old_threads_is_a_bigger_problem/
