It’s incumbent on them to tell us what’s out of date. Most of the ones I’ve seen lately are fairly evergreen and just got necro’d. I really think they should auto close after any way, since it seems like only timestamps are actually being compared.

I think they didn't want a hard rule but they mentioned over a year old as a good example of a thread that will be closed. Auto-closed threads ruin guides and creative content.
There's no new Daedric princes to my knowledge.

I agree the issue is very much still relevant but that doesnt make bringing old posts back beneficial. If there is relevant info it can be linked or quoted in a new post/discussion.
Old posts especially ones years old can have outdated info and opinions that may have changed over that time period. Even if the topic is still very much relevant. Not to mention having to go back and read pages of old discussions is not likely for most and they just add their opinions based on the title.
A new post that references the old post and reignites the discussion is always a better way to make a point or update information.
