Can anyone explain forum systems?

When I'm interested in a forum, I says "This topic is now closed" "This topic is archived and no longer can be replied to" How do you archive?

Users like you and me can create a topic, edit or delete the own posts.
Administrators can do the same, but in addition they can delete an entire topic including all posts, delete individual posts and archive the topic (it is read-only, but the emoji buttons can be used).

If no new posts are received on a topic for an extended period of time, or if the question has been definitively resolved,
it will be archived.

Closing a topic is a result of a moderator action. (In blog discussions, the blog author can do that; in a team forum, a forum leader can.) Topics are archived automatically after some period of inactivity (no new comments), IIRC it's something like one month. From practical point of view, both behave the same: emoji reactions can be still added but no new comments.
