Another sink test

Get some replies and I will sink it

There's finally a new thread. Let's see if this one sinks or swims to the top.

Now there's 2 threads of this. Checking to see if it's still working.

bump?

Well it didn't jump to the top with that bump.

I did make a change to how sink works so maybe I fixed it?

Just curious, what is the purpose of "sink"? Popular topics typically get lots of replies and stay at the top while less popular slide down the charts. The natural approach seems to work fine IMHO.

Does sink mean a less popular post, determined by number of views or posts, slide down and stays down? IOW, don't bother replying to a bit older post because no one will see it because once down the list, it stays there?

Sink is done the mods, OP or both? I'm mostly a reader so it appears to me that there is no reason to reply to any post below the top 10 since it will not be read and will sink like rock regardless if there is a fresh reply. Good to know!
