Includes the option of "archiving" (ie, hide) old & inactive discussions, as well as exempting Stickies, Whispers, and specific Categories.

To prevent this conflict, simply install Auto Close AFTER installing the "Guest Post" extension. If Auto Close has already been installed, install and enable "Guest Post", and then DISABLE and RE-ENABLE Auto Close.
