One problem I can see with auto-locking would be in the Library. Many uploaders resurrect very old threads to upload new book versions, many readers resurrect them to comment on books they have down-loaded. Maybe if an auto-lock policy was implemented, it would have to exclude the Library.
And yes, I think the "Similar Threads" can be very confusing for any poster. It's sometimes hard to judge whether an old thread is relevant, or if its *title* just happens to be similar to the thread you are currently reading. Case in point, four out of five of the Similar Threads for this one are titles that simply contain the word "Wrong". This is not necessarily helpful...
