After 60 days threads are closed, their icon turns from red to grey.

Yes of course.

Is being a thread killer now regarded as a good thing?

Just asking for a friend...

That would be a philosophical question...
Some have been proud, some ashamed.

When I was new in this forum and began following this thread, I thought it was very shameful to have killed a thread, thinking I posted something so boring nobody cared to respond to. In May I managed to kill four. 🙂

Have you considered, as a new employment, applying to the Mafia as a "hitperson"?

The discussion is as old as the thread killing: is it good or bad to be a thread killer.

In fact it is what it is. Some threads have a good closing remark settling things and some died from sheer boredom.
