very good suggestion... and everyone knows why because as you said, weve all said things like it

but instead of say one month, why dont we make it one month of the post being 'inactive' or even a fortnight... only because the post may very well be active and still taking comments then to shutout AP's while its still active...

Also, what happens if say, the original post is 1 month, and the last post is 2 days old.... will the AP's be denied because of the age of the original post, ..... in other words would it affect individual posts or the whole thread..
