I don’t like this proposal. If posting replies without bumping the topic were possible, it would become too easy to hide just about any kind of content in year-old threads. Your Discourse forum could be made to host all kinds of smut, SEO links or copyright infringing uploads (just find an abandoned thread in a suitably busy forum and put your junk in there without bumping the topic) and the chances of an admin or mod finding that stuff are slim to none.
