Many of my members have long running threads (running for months if not years) like diaries etc that they want to change the title / poll indefinitely and I don't have a problem with allowing it.

I have mine set to 0, and I believe that disables it.

The nature of your forum is somewhat unique in that you allow a lot of flexibility with your threads. I've found that to be the opposite of most forums, since constant alteration of old threads would affect, not just the search results of people finding your site off of search engines, but your own internal search. Meaning it's somewhat harder to search for a thread or for information you remember reading once, because that info could have easily been altered. I'd venture to say you're the first person I've heard of who use threads and polls that flexibly.

Also, what you might be looking for is more likely found in the functionality of the blog. Since threads, by design, are generally meant to be permanent, or removed over time.
