Why locking old classic threads?

[400actforsale]

I have browsed the Bitcoin Pizza thread lately and found it is not open for replies while the last occurred 10 months ago. Also the first thread by satoshi is locked similarly.

Did the moderator did this to fight the signature spammers or it is just a bug of the new forum software (I have been away for a while so I don't know whether it is actually deployed or not)?

Probably to deter signature spammers. These are spam magnets and I have seen lots of signature spammers posting there.

The new software didn't affect anything here AFAIK.

Threads are locked for all different reasons. Sometimes they've outlived their purpose or keep getting necrobumped with pointless replies, or they get taken over by sig spammers (or were just created by them in the first place to easily spam in).

Who locked the "Let's talk about how hot Asian girls are" thread? 
That thread used to be my first point of call on the forum

I know this is a bitcoin forum and it may have been a little out of place even in off-topic but it was needed, with all the drama that goes on here sometimes it was good to just take 5 and check out some pussy, 

Bring back the Asian girls thread campaign anyone?
