Subject: Topics archived after 1 month inactivity

Dear lucky_Nan,

Archiving a topic means no longer allowing future replies but preserving the content for future reference.

On Lichess, forum topics are automatically archived after one month of inactivity. This means that if there are no further updates after 1 month since the latest post, the topic is automatically archived. Please find shared the relevant code snippet as follows:
github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/master/modules/forum/src/main/ForumTopic.scala#L61

When a forum topic is archived, new posts are no longer permitted. Please find shared the relevant code snippet as follows: github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/master/app/controllers/ForumPost.scala#L42

From the above code snippets, it is inferred that moderators may close, delete, or pin topics. But they can't archive topics; that is handled automatically as described above.

I hope this answers your question. Feel free to continue this topic should there be any further questions related to this.

Regards,
Abhishek
