Re: Clarification requested
We shut comments on stories and reviews 14 days after publication date. In most cases, comments have ground to a halt - there is a sharp drop-off after the first few days.
It also means that we are moderating comments for 500-600 articles at any one time and not 110,000 (the number of articles posted on The Register).
Very occasionally, as we will do with this thread, we keep comments open for longer.
