And this is a good thing. One forum usually auto-locks threads older than "X" - this can be good for sanity but sometimes detrimental.

For example, this thread I opened several years ago keeps being reopened but still with relevant information.
I never quite understood the problem with necroposting, as long as it's about the same subject. It's a lot better than to spawn the same thread endlessly, repeating things ad nauseum. It seems to be a lot better to have an older thread resurrected and extended than to have a plethora of partial threads.

One of the issues I see is to keep the "updated threads" queue free from discussions such as this one that have gone completely off-topic - the title becomes quite misleading for the passersby.

I don't see anything wrong is posts are still relevant.

On that note, I will go on radio silence on this thread.

Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...

Some people forget that not everyone reads every single thread on a forum and they might find a subject interesting because it's the first time they have read it. I will often not post for a month then comeback and press "new posts to your replies". Whats good about forums is that it keeps all the old stuff. Or they call you a troll if you talk about a subject that someone already covered a week ago, but you have never seen it because you don't read the forum all day every day. Its also impossible to read all the posts in a 30 page thread in a reasonable amount of time.

yes but the thread we are in now serves no purpose anymore and has gone completely off topic.
Then lock it, you're the admin  ;)
