Absolutely brilliant strategy for a fandom spanning a quarter of a century. There are comment threads that are healthy and ongoing that started in 2013. The internet is timeless and unlike forum posts, a comment isn't bumped when replied to. It doesn't cause clutter or interrupt other conversations. . . it has its own contained reply tree for every comment.
It is asinine, to know that someone less than a few months from now can draw some thoughts on something I've written, will attempt to share those thoughts with me, which I would still be notified of - and will be told by a system that because it is more than 100 days old - that there is no need to reply.
That is bullshit, there very much is a need to reply, otherwise you wouldn't have to tell them this nonsense. You literally are only able to tell them, because there was a need to reply.
Literally everyone who reads this line, had a need to reply. Is this getting through?
It is sincerely shameful, to say this to people, to a fandom, that you would hope lasted another 25 years.
I am hoping this is simply some anomaly imposed by the central network, and not something employed by the moderation who, have somehow grown weary of others being engaged with a site they have grown tired of.
