It's probably best to close threads according to moderator discretion. Like Jack said, the potential lifespan of a thread really depends on its topic. Some reasons I can think of to close an old thread are:


 * Thread is about technical issues that may no longer apply to the current build. Users can create a new thread to get relevant advice.


 * Thread is about story elements/planned additions/etc. that may have been revised since the time the original post was made. To avoid confusion, users can start a new discussion.


 * Thread is about a question that was already sufficiently answered.


 * Thread is really old (like 1+ year), to the point where the people who started it may not even be active on the wiki anymore. Better to close it so people aren't having conversations with ghosts, or causing people to get notifications about a post they've forgotten long ago.

Again, I'm not sure if there's any point in pre-emptively closing threads. I'm fine with doing it on request.
