Why my topics will close a month after the last reply?

When i create a discussion topic in Help with Snap! forum, the topic i have created will close a month after the last reply. Why?

To prevent people from necroposting: posting to a long inactive topic.

You posted this post within 7 minutes!!!
But how do i make a long inactive project?

I don't think you're understanding what that means.
Necroposting is posting to a topic that has been around for months with no replies. You can't really consciously create a "long inactive project," how inactive it is is dependent on how often people reply (or if they do).

Oops! I meant a long inactive topic.

bh explains it well:

@bh

Maybe a month is the wrong amount of time, but the idea is that posts after a long time of silence tend to be (as in this case) just "this is great" or maybe "this isn't great." So those of us who follow the forum closely have to deal with that clutter. And also, on this forum we've had problems of threads being hijacked into chats and online romances, and closing topics might help with that.

easy, just post 2+ (long) boring-to-read paragraphs explaining your project, along with a link to the project, and post that.

But, I don't suggest you should make a boring topic that you know nobody would reply to.
