Reddit also has a pretty short amount of time that threads have before they're archived. Lots of times I'll come across an old discussion from a few years ago (or longer) and want to ask a question, or thank somebody for somee insight or whatever, but can't because it's no longer available.

Six months.

Most discussions are effectively dead within 24 hours, often less.

About 3/4 of Reddit threads I've seen and wanted to comment on have been locked due to that time limit.

Sometimes the OP's original question is unanswered and I could have helped.
