Here's reasoning for both.
It's a good idea because it cleans up the boards of old and spammy topics.
It's a bad idea because
1) They will end up one the older pages anyways... no need.
2) New people may make a thread just like one old one, so AGAIN, it's not worth it. Might as well bump it.

Good. Fall Cleaning is all about getting rid of the threads that have served their purpose[/u]. Example: Question: Where can I get free money fast? Answer: At www.getlotsamoneyfast.com! It's SO easy! <------(This thread has now served it's purpose. It can be closed now, but we should leave it open longer in case this person has more questions, or other users want to share their experiences.) Next Replyer: Oh, Laulzerz!!1 I've been there before! It reminds me of cheese!! Next Replyer: I like cheese. Whenever we go to the store, my mom buys lots of cheese. Next Replyer: Where do you get your cheese? I always go to super-duper market-store. Next Replyer: I hear Super-duper market-store is having a sale on beans! Liek, OMGZERZ!1 That's how most of these threads end up. It's just cluttering up the thread with off-topicness, and increasing everyone's post count..

Exactly why you leave it open for a certain amount of time. But after you leave it open for a good while and the nonsense doesn't stop, that's when you close it.

New members may come along to something they've never seen, and be curious about it.

Yeah, but how often do we get new members? And it's probably not even worth it.

Just because we don't get new members that often doesn't mean we should close all the threads. You're very left Austen. We have freedom of speech, remember?
