I, too, would lock old threads but leave them visible so anyone interested could try starting a fresh conversation. I see no merit in having 'dead' threads hanging around on a forum although whether they take up significant amounts of electronic storage space I have no idea.
Even then, though, someone would have to go through section by section and manually change the status of each old thread, no small task. It could be done but quite what would be achieved by all the effort is moot.
