Being able to target forums or sections to apply it to would be an outstanding addition to this.

Why? If a topic is that popular it seems you should be featuring it, not closing it automatically. Of course, if a long topic starts to drift or get confrontational, it should be closed for those reasons, but then I would expect the moderator to post a reason for the closure.

I have somerthing similar. IMHO, that's a point of moderator to cut such threads by volumes - autoclose will confuses users.
