8. I think the limit is on the number of active threads in a particular forum/group.

Each forum or group can have 30 pages of active threads which will be kicked to the top of the forum/group if replied to, but after any thread drops past page 30 it is considered archived and will no longer be moved to the top of the forum/group when a reply is posted.

This means that fast moving forums will archive threads rather quickly (e.g. days or weeks) and forums/groups with little activity will not have reached the 30 page limit yet and therefore any thread in those forums/groups would get kicked to the top if someone posts a reply.

Happy to see that old threads can no longer be re-kicked forever. What is the time limit? n/t [View all] Egalitarian Thug Oct 2012 OP

I believe they can be kicked forever. There isn't any time limit, AFAIK. n/t CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2012 #1

Let's go find one! Nah, I can't think of one... Can you? freshwest Oct 2012 #2

It let me post to it, but it didn't kick it back up. William769 Oct 2012 #4

Yep, you can post to them, but they are no longer kicked to the top. Egalitarian Thug Oct 2012 #5

Strange thing was, just after I posted here, a post of mine from January was posted on in V & MM. freshwest Oct 2012 #6

Could it just be in GD/certain forums? I'm confused. n/t Egalitarian Thug Oct 2012 #7

I'm clueless. I just corrected my post, too, since it wasn't bumped in V & MM. freshwest Oct 2012 #9

I think you answered the question. I don't have any idea how the Admins do this, but they know. freshwest Oct 2012 #10

Ah ha! Thank you! n/t Egalitarian Thug Oct 2012 #11
