It won't let me reply

[hyperyoda]

I found a thread from Nov. 2007 I wanted to respond to but it won't let me says:

Hello, hyperyoda You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section.

Why was this date chosen as the cutoff and why was it decided to not let people reply to threads from before this date?

I think we should be able to reply to *any* thread. Please consider this Ubuntu Forum Council :)

You were originally able to reply to threads in the archive, however the cutoff date for actually replying was sometime in July 2008.

The reason for this is largely because of how much Ubuntu has changed in the last couple of years, as well as the fact that the archive should, by definition, be read only :)
