I want to comment on a thread from 2019 that is still very relevant today, however it says it is locked due to inactivity. This is very frustrating. I shouldn't have to start a new thread when the old one falls in line perfectly with what I'd be referencing. I don't know when you all started locking threads, but I see no point in it.

Thanks for the link. That explains it. But I'm still not a fan of that decision.
Which thread do you want to re-open? Please post a link to the thread.
Is there a way to change the timer on when an inactive thread closes?
I have set the timer so the threads become locked after one year of inactivity. That seems reasonable to me.
Has it been an issue where the lock is needed? Started a new thread on the same topic years later could get confusing.
It has become a big problem. People have been responding to threads which are more than ten years old.
Start a new thread. On a number of occasions, I have merged the new thread with the old one. This effectively opens the old thread for further posting.

Extremely reasonable. Many other boards have 90 day auto-lock like the railroad forum I'm a mod on and some other places it's 180 days.
