It's very common for forums to have rules against posting in a thread that hasn't seen any activity for an arbitrary amount of time. When you do that, you will often cause a thread that has fallen from the front page to bump back to the top of the front page. It's not clear why this is a problem, though. Maybe regulars just dislike seeing old topics brought back up?

It's the snowball effect.

Most people can't think for themselves, so they just do what everyone else is doing.

If you deviate from the crowd, then you're in the wrong.
