Note the date of post you are responding to.
When the system says "hey, you are responding to a really old thread, let me fix that for you", you should click the button.
Please don't reply to really old threads directly, instead you use a link (which is what the system will do for you automatically)

Well, if it should not be possible to reply then maybe disable it altogether? I think it is reasonable to respond to old threads if the context makes sense (as I believe it does in this case), and the system agrees with me.
