[Suggestion] Automatic/manual archiving of threads

For servers where people may take time to reply to a thread, it's a bother to remember or find it again if the thread gets automatically archived after 24 hours.

My suggestion is to implement one of the following:

1. Increase the time limit before the thread is archived - maybe 72 hours at least

2. Add a setting that allows server mods to enable/disable automatic archiving

3. Turn off the automatic archiving altogether and let users archive the thread when it suits them, potentially have an even higher limit like 30 days of inactivity if need be

4. Don't remove the thread from the thread list after it's archived. I don't know if this is the definition of "archived" in this case, but this makes it harder to find the thread, especially if there are many threads going or a separate conversation outside the thread.

Basically it would be ideal if threads didn't almost disappear when they're archived.

Jesse: channels serve an entirely different purpose than threads.

Channels are immediately listed in the channel list and having too many means people can't find what they want.

In a server I help moderate (related to Stable Diffusion) we have a single channel for "How To" which links out to other places (this channel contains a single post and no one has permissions to post in it, same as a "rules" channel). One of those links directs people to the *thread* in the Tips and Guides *forum* on how to use the stable diffusion Google colab.

Guess what we have to unarchive every week?
