I would highly recommend 1 year as the line in the sand; if their last post (Q or A) was more than a year ago, it's probably a good idea to consider them a fresh face for the purposes of this notice. Probably good to place that whole check within an if statement that only runs it if they have fewer than, say, 5 or 10 answers total, though (if someone has a bunch of answers they may be quite well-versed with the site and not need that notice when they come back from a Stack Exchange sabbatical)
