That's true. I guess it depends. If a user has a good reason to reply to an old thread, then I think he should be able to do so (in other words, I am not convinced locking old threads in general would be the best solution). On the other hand, if a user repeatedly replies to old threads (either because he doesn't understand the concept of old versus new threads or because he does it just for fun), then it would be a good idea to message this person directly and ask him politely to consider starting new threads instead.
