This is one of the things I actually quite like about the threadiverse; instead of a brief surge of activity before a post sinks forever, they stay active. Discussions can go on for days, and posts of the same link get joined together (piefed does this especially well), so you can see previous discussions. I like the longevity of interactions here.

There seems to be a number of users here (who may be bots?) who just spam cross posts of older popular posts

The situation is still the same situation today, but the picture should have a few more white empty bicycles in it.
