This is interesting, but we’d have to come up with a clever way to exclude bumped topics.

The announcement of [Discourse's Fourth Birthday](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourses-fourth-birthday/57007) is currently ranked at the top for the past year. It was bumped in November. So the logic can’t be quite as simple as “include older topics with _any_ new activity within the date range” because then this would be at the top of the past quarter as well, which is not desirable.
