Auto split/fork a thread's posts at a specific post count threshold ?

[eva2000]

Would be nice to have ability to set in admin to say auto fork close and split a thread at XX amount of posts ?

But what's the point of that? What is that supposed to accomplish?

I can see it being doable as plugin but for the life of me cannot fathom why?

Some forums have an auto-lock after X amount of days, this would be useful on some forums (preventing necro, etc). Not sure about auto-fork though

An auto-admin plugin would be great (auto-lock, pruning spam links, etc).

@planner basically to keep threads to a manageable size i.e. imagine 40,000 post thread !

But that's what pagination is for. And if after 5000 posts the subject of the original topic has not been resolved, then it will never be.

I have a tutorial on my blog with more than 550 comments. If I had a good forum platform with a good search feature, most of the comments would not have been asked.
