Forgive me if this function is available. I may not have searched using the correct word set. Users are asking if there is a way to force the auto bump function to decay over time if a topic gets no activity when it is bumped. Bumping is great, because it often simulates new conversations. Often, though, the bump is met with silence and, over time, the silence continues. Suggestions?
