PROBLEM: It seems we get a lot of new, trial accounts (cough spammers, cough) who post on old threads for some reason. Some of these people might be legit, but... it's a pattern. It's not terrible but it is noise.
Possible Solutions:
Aside from letting it go, I can see three options:
1) Close threads after X time (6 months, etc). Downside of this is that if a paying member search and finds an old thread and wants to ask a question etc... they couldn't do that. I'd rather live with the noise we get than do this, personally.
2) Close threads after X time to trial accounts. Normal paid accounts could post in these. This preserves the ability to post relevant things in older threads for legit Pitmaster folks but eliminates the spammers.
Alternatively, remove trial accounts, but I assume they bring in enough legit folks that you would not want to do this.
EDIT: See 3rd option idea below.
