The last six I've opened are from 2015 to 2018. What's up with that? I'm new here and I don't get it. If the thread died years ago, why try to bring it back to life? Why not start a new thread with a new angle that might draw in new comments?
Why are so many of these "Recent" threads actually threads started years ago?

there is a thread bump queen on the loose around here. It annoys many of us. Many have speculated as to the reasoning

Some have observed that the 2015 bump troll is a Trump supporter who bumps threads from 2015 (before Trump’s presidency) whenever a particularly bad spate of negative Trump emerges, i.e., every few days, in order to move negative Trump thread lower on the DL page.

Some have speculated it's a Trump shill pushing bad news for Plumpy off the page so it bumps up old threads to push those down.
Could even be Matt's antics, too.

These "bumped" threads seem to come in waves I notice. In particular, it usually coincides with as others have noted up thread with any bad news for Trump. There was one time (last election year?) when one particular person bumped threads constantly, overwhelming the site with extremely old threads. It almost took over DL and no one could stop it it seemed. I haven't seen anything as bad as back then.

The bump queen usually bumps threads with intriguing titles (eg, "I'm obsessed with a married co-worker. Need advice!") They tend to be click-baity

Some have speculated it is an insane demon filled with demonic energy that is bumping threads because it gives him power that he can use to flood the stock market with evil and thus destroy society.

I am wondering if the Thread Bump Troll is the reason you can't find old threads on Google any longer.

R7 That was so complicated, I gave up midway through it. I'm not smart enough to understand it but thank you for posting it.

Boris doesn't want Trump's treason and child rape to trend.

I have the Idiot Thread Bumper on "ignore," but unfortunately that doesn't stop those threads from showing up when the next person adds on to them. So if you're responding to or posting on these bumped threads-- YOU are part of the problem. Stop enabling him.

Here is another click-baity 2015 thread: "My bottom FB is a racist. Is that a deal breaker?"
