Thread 74472 ....why has it been archived even though there are recent additions

As the title says, thread 74472 (regarding weight issues of 4x4s) has now been "Archived".

This means it cannot be added to by any persons wishing to add their thoughts to this growing, serious issue that concerns many of us on this forum.

It will now be necessary to add any further info by starting a new thread with a similar title and referring to the previous threads.....which includes 74448.

I'm guessing that thread # 74472 (started by Troll81) was started because of the fact that the previous thread on this topic (#74448) had also been archived.

Is it just a case that threads automatically become archived after 1 month, regardless of whether people are still contributing????

If so, (and I suspect this is the case as 74472 was commenced on 17/12/2009), then I strongly suggest the Exploroz brain's trust seriously review that policy, please.

Hell, I'm also on the 4WD Action Forum and am a contributing member to a thread there that has been running for about 3 years or more (relating to 6.5 Chev V8 diesel engines). It is such a wealth of information to be able to source in one place, even it does require wading through pages and pages of updates; that's still better than trying to jump from one post/thread to another.
