Saw a Neet Idea last night

it would be nice if there were a way to validate a resurrection, like it had to be approved if the thread was more than a few months old. that would stop all the useless revivals and yet allow the ones with actual questions to be allowed.

...this can be done. Unfortunately, the best way to do it would be to let some weirdo (like me, but probably not me) have administrative access to the board code... On the other hand, a somewhat competent administrative user (or someone really, really good at following fairly simple directions) could just insert code written and tested on said weirdo's own board.

I'm on a forum that does that. After a certain amount of time, threads become locked, and the post box's all say "Contact an Administrator if you wish to creat a post" or something like that.
