Miscellaneous Hacks - Automatically close threads after X replies

Product name:
Automatically close threads after X replies

Product description:
As the name implies, this product will allow you to automatically close threads when a certain number of replies (set in the Admin CP) has been reached. Each time a post is made, the plugin checks if the reply limit has been reached, and if so, the topic is closed. Sticky threads may be excluded from this limit.

Product installation:
Just import the product and set the options under vBulletin options, that's all there is to it.

Version compatibility:
Has been tested on vBulletin 3.7.x. May or may not work with earlier versions.

Version history:

1.0.1 -- 09/15/2008
- [Added] Ability to exclude individual threads
- [Added] Version check

1.0.0 -- 09/15/2008

It would be fantastic to see a mod like this that allows to close the thread automatically after a tot of days, with the user mandatory choice for certain forum of who opening the thread. For my forum would be a windfall!

I could have a real use for this, if it would create a new thread (continuing the old thread) automatically

I think a mod like that already exists.

Marco, got any plan to put thread ids too?

[Marco]

You mean thread id's of threads you would like to remain open? That sounds doable, I might add that when I have some time.

This allow Admin choice and not user choice

This product will automatically close threads. Administrators have the option of setting the number of days until a thread closes, including or excluding sticky threads, and including or excluding forums by ID.

Threads can be closed X days after the thread was created or X days after the last post.

I had some time just now.

Updated to version 1.0.1, which adds this feature.

Not really, as I don't want all of my threads got close. I want certain threads.
