Another thing, I got a forum that has been around for 8 years from phpbb software and old management did like to close threads so the biggest forum here is the recyble bin. And for SEO i keep those threads visible to public as there is a big increase in traffic, Im doing my best to teach moderatos to not close just simple threads and just leave them alone until they die old (or until it someone makes a bump).

My archive goes from 2002 to 2010 and there is a lot of threads there that are important, like i said, and old admin though that by closing threads the database was going to be smaller and lower bandwidth etc etc. Very stupid! So i have to deal with this and that's why I want threads to be close automatically.

Simple suggestion to add the option, if not mods will still close them manually no problem!

So, you have your recycle bin open so members can see it?
