$log_lockdate=mktime (date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d")-30, date("Y"));

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET open=0 WHERE dateline<=$log_lockdate AND forumid=X"); 


Replace X with your forumid you want the auto-lock..

Not tested, first try in a test board! It has SQL query that wil make modifications in the records of your db, so do not apply to your real board without testing it in a test board..

The auto-lock will be triggered whenever someone creates a new thread in your board so do not expect the hack to work if someone does not create a new thread for a few days..

Enjoy

Any reason this would NOT work in v3.0.0?
