They're pretty much ad hoc tbh, there's no set time. Want me to take a look at one in particular?

Yes please, if you could have a look at the journalism/boards articles it would be great.

I was just wondering if a thread was up in new forums for a month would it be automatically changed to ongoing or somesuch.

And actually, while I'm here. Does it make any difference if a thread is new or ongoing?
Thanks Zaph,

Well tbh I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference. The approved and rejected tags are the only useful ones imo. The tags themselves are set manually, there's no automation involved. An automatic change of tags would be nice, but I don't know if vB is capable of that.
