As an experienced editor I could add comments to any "locked" blog right now, even without being an Admin. I don't to respect the wiki's decision to prevent discussion on old blogs (and forum threads). Personally I don't like these restrictions as they can limit good discussion, but I must be an Admin to do any kind of modification to the feature. The feature allows someone to add a specific category to blogs to prevent them from ever being locked, but I don't think Admins would support the idea while still using the script. Perhaps an Admin can lengthen the time before the blog comments are locked out to 60, or even 90, days.

In summary I can't reopen comments to the blog. An Admin has three options: use the category (which defeats the purpose of the feature), lengthen the expiration time, or remove the lockout completely.

And to note, copying-and-pasting the blog and deleting the old one loses all the past discussions so it's not really a solution.
