That would be a bad idea, IMHO. There are many threads that are just as relevant today as when they were written several years ago. If people waste their time reading pages of 2 year/old posts that are no longer relevant because they don't bother reading the date on the post, that's their problem. No sense in crippling the forum software and forcing duplicate posts because of a few dumb people.

Some threads have continuing value to readers/posters, others don't. I agree that people should check the dates on a thread to determine whether the thread has continuing usefulness, but I don't want a hard and fast time rule. I'm not going to make a federal case about ANY thread getting revived. If one gets revived that really shouldn't have, they tend to drop back down the list soon enough.
