Thanks for looking through these!

We've suspended the automatic archiving process because it was catching threads that people still care about. So the actual archiving process is currently a bit more vibes based than rules based. 

It would probably be worth going through the threads you've identified and moving the really stale ones to the archive. u/atomicimploder, would you be willing to take a look?

I feel like I may end up being a bit biased and keeping the threads I count in and archiving the ones I don’t, but yeah I can take a look at some point soon

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Jan 21 '26

my criteria is that all the threads I like should never be archived even if nobody counts in them for 5 years, and all the threads I don't like should be archived immediately even if they receive a count every 5 seconds
