Problem with all of this is that first of all, you're limiting your moderation team. Their job is to help moderate the forum. Secondly, closing threads after 21 days? Isn't that rather hasty? Why not close it off after every 3 weeks (28 days)? Or perhaps even a month? All you're doing, really, is making it less of a hassle for the team, while on the other hand, encouraging users to spam more threads. Assume that the "What anime have you been watching?" thread doesn't get a response in approximately 21 days straight because xyz users have been busy with their lives. But a new member joined and wanted to post, but oh no, it's locked. Yes, then sticky it. Oh, but then you'd have to sticky a ton of threads that people likes to post in ...actively. This creates a new problem.
By doing this, you've closed off older threads, but encouraged others to make the same threads after every 21 days under the assumption that a specific thread doesn't get a reply in 21 days.
Enjoy.
I'm sure Sarah and the others pretty much expected the same sh`it I did, so they all left. Surprised the rest of you haven't.
