Thread:Talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/Discussion status/reply (2)

Another reason to mark a discussion as closed is that in this manner users know they don't need to read that discussion, while their input is needed in other discussions. Sometimes there's a long talk page with some ongoing discussions and you won't archive a recent one, even if it's closed, because an older one requires some more comments, even if it's not active (and archives are usually chronological). With current LQT you could bump all non-closed discussions to move them on top, but I don't think that this would be an appreciated system.
