Why are so many old threads being bumped?
It could be general fuckery- or attempts to get frequently posted in threads (Sexual Assault Accusation and Internet Censorship Database threads) off the front page.
I wouldn't recomend stickying either of them yet, nor would I say adding bumplocking is a good idea though IMO if a thread is older than a year, it could be bumplocked, archived, and then a second fresh edition as a new thread when updates happen- linking to the old thread of course.
Thoughts Acid? You know the board better than anyone, anything abnormal about those threads coming up from the depths?
