After how long do forum topics close automatically?

In each forum, which do they happen and after how long? Is it after inactivity or original post date?

I don`t think it is automatic, I think it has to take a moderator to close them.


Try my latest game, Rolling 2, a 10-level platform game based around the gravity marble.

Some close automatically, like misc and S&T.

In Miscellaneous, I believe it's 30 days, or a month.  hmm

You're both right.  It's not exactly automatic because I have to fire up an SQL command to do it (which I do on a pretty random schedule)....but once I do, it goes out and closes every Miscellaneous topic that hasn't seen a new post in two weeks.  For other forums, it's two months.

Not all - the unaffected forums are: FAQ, Suggestions, Troubleshooting, Sensor Boards, the language forums, Translating Scratch, Other Languages, Collaboration, Requests, and Project Ideas.

Hey, most of them aren't affected  tongue

Good, because Chrono Wars is going to be down for a while. Don't want it closing,  tongue
