this reply is mostly related to the opening topics
but i have a question please...
i have also noticed besides the difference in years that topics are also closed.

..
well i began to think.

.there closed because there relatively old of cource and people go and dig them up like professor dumbledore has said. but i went searching for a conversation a while back on a question and i recently found the answer and wanted to add the answer
unfortunately i was unable to do so and the unanswered topic is closed. that made me question if doing this is a good idea
do not misunderstand me i think most of the improvements are benefitial to the growth of the site and forums but maybe a poll or something could have been taken before some changes were made
are we not together here.....
i would like to know if there other tangable reasons why older posts are closed please
