What's Your Opinion? How Long Should Comments Be Allowed? by Timileyin(m): 12:19am On Apr 29, 2012
As an "owner" of a blog / forum, that has (at last count) of 1090 posts dating back for about a yeah months, I noticed that I start getting a lot of comment spam.

I have been asking myself, how long should I allow comments on blog / forum posts? I mean, I am sure I posted something in 2009 that might be relevant again, but maybe just contact me? Since I doubt someone is going through my archives (unless they got there via Google of course) and even then, since this is a technology blog, I am sure there are a lot of things that are now out of date.

So the question is, should I turn off comments on blog posts that are older than X time? and what should that X be?

Over to you!
