ajantha, allow me to direct you to the rules: post46752.html#46752
From the rules:
Bringing Up Old Topics
If you bring up an old topic (>2 months) and have nothing useful to post in that topic, it will be locked, no exceptions. If you feel it was unjustly locked, read the next section on Locked Topics.
Locked Topics
The Moderators have the right to lock any topic that they deem worthy of locking. If your topic gets locked, don’t make a new topic about the same thing and don’t make a new topic bitching about your old topic getting locked. If you object to a post being locked, use the Report button on your locked topic and it will be marked for review.
