Ads kept getting bumped every time someone said "nice ass". Old threads were resurrected and new threads bumped out of the way. It was a nightmare.

The thread bumping seems to work better on smaller boards with a lot less traffic.

Was when I recently saw a guy (a friend of mine) post on another board on the second thread down. This guy had passed away four months ago.  I was instantly not a fan of thread bumping.

seeing several many-days-old threads on top made it really hard to find whatever was new; you had to be  able to remember if you'd seen a thread before so you could skip it.  So it became a real pain to find what we were looking for.  Plus I don't necessarily agree that a recent post meant an old thread was 'interesting."
