Auto remove/archive after xx days without new comments?

Would it be possible to have an option to automatically remove or archive conversations after a certain time with no comments. Maybe this could be user configurable - XX days.

Some users might not want or need it at all, but for me its pretty safe to assume that if they haven’t had any new comments in, say, a week or two then there probably won’t be any new ones. I’m just imagining my Conversations page becoming pretty huge after a time.

Or alternatively, maybe they could be “archived” in some way. Put on a seperate “archives” page, and maybe only checked once a week or so.

    Yes, please! I’m already tracking 400+ conversations and I’m only interested in the last 20 or less. I’m just too lazy to go back and start deleting old threads.

    I thought about it for the last two days, and I like the idea. I’m not sure exactly how it will work out yet, but something that will keep the load to only the more recent conversations.

    I would simply like to hide all tracked blog posts by default, showing only the ones with new comments. Then no matter how many posts I track, my main page will stay clean and only show me what I really care about - new content.

    I’m enjoying using the site, btw. Previously I had a folder named “FOLLOWUP” on my toolbar in Firefox where I simply pulled blog entries in and then manually checked each day or two. This will be a great time-saver!

    Can I use these for forums? Many times I ask a question in a SEO forum and forget to see if there was a response.
