It's not a top priority right now, sorry. For now, if one of your old threads pops back up as a milestone and you don't want it to, one option would be to repost the OP as a reply at the bottom of your thread, and then self-delete the OP. That way the OP is preserved in the thread, but the thread will be locked and will not milestone. It's not exactly the most elegant solution but it should do as a temporary workaround.

Alternatively I could lock your thread if you want the structure to be preserved. I would post a reply at the bottom noting something along the lines of, "Locking at the request of the OP."
