It also feels wrong on an SEO level. Google likes fresh content, and whenever a thread gets bumped (new comment) Google ranks it better.<p>Here&#x27;s the trap though: What happens if someone bumps an old thread from 2011? A lot of ppl assume that this is fresh content on the frontpage and will skip reading the date and might be misinformed. The probability that information will be current staggers in time.<p>A simple UX fix can warn the user that the thread is from 2011 or the thread has been &quot;bumped&quot;.
