Most of the old bumped topics I delete, so for me, it’s a reminder to delete really out of date topics. About 1 in 10 are worth editing and keeping around, though, so it’s not always the same outcome.

It is fair to note that this is kind of an anti-feature for actual _users_ of Meta who don’t already work for CDCK, Inc @sam 😉
