If simple solutions are going to be so harshly debated (lock the stupid old topics), then I guess this site might benefit from a slightly more complex solution. Place topics under an Alert Lock. That way if someone replies to the topic, it wont reply directly, but instead will request approval from an admin.
Or if that's too complex, simply make it so that topics older then a specific date, add in a red Explanation icon or something, that way we don't waste our time reading stuff just because we don't make it a habit to check the date of posts we read, before we read them.

Sounds better. Or just a simple pop-up when you hit Reply; "This discussion died a long time ago, do you still wish post?"
