Would it be possible to implement something like that, for example posts older then 3 months get automatically locked because I can not see a value in someone saying congratulations on 5th April for a post somewhere in September last year.

If that happens, will other people be able to view those posts?

I would think so since I can view other locked threads and the posts within them.

But I'm not sure they're searchable... any confirmation on that?

EDIT: Never mind, they are.

I would guess, since this is a custom forum app, that locking of those posts would involve manual effort from admins and mods. Not sure they want to invest that level of time and effort.
