Reviving old topics

[Tino]

I am actually annoyed, because a bump requires me to scroll back sometimes hundreds of messages to page into my working memory what it is that the thread is about.

Well… you could also just ignore the message and skip all that scrolling, couldn't you?

When is a thread too old to resurrect? Here’s a nice rule of thumb: If you have to ask, it’s too old.

Ask who?
It would be possible to avoid those inconveniences automatically, but that would require a specific timeframe which Discourse could use to adopt its reactions.
