Suggestion: Removal of similar topics

I think we could eliminate the "similar topics" feature. It seems to be creating a lot of ressurection of really old threads.

I do kinda like the similar threads myself, you do find some interesting ideas that way - perhaps there could be some autolocking feature on posts older than, say a week?

Eh, I wouldn't go so far as a week. Maybe more like a month.

Even then, I'm not even sure if there's a auto-locking hack for vb. Is there?

If not, its less than one line of code to add it.

maybe more then one line jolly, but i dont expiriment with that knida stuff allot.

i say that msotly cause of the database querys it would take.

btw: i like the similar topics. helps me skim for stuff faster.

if(time() - $lastposttime > 2592000) $locked = true;

One line. The var names have probably been changed since the version of vb that I have as they cleaned up a lot of stuff with 2.2, but the basic idea is the same.
