Haven't visited this board since late June and was extremely surprised that posts I made around that time are still online. When and why did the pages get expanded?

While I think that's neat, anything past page 6 is considered old and unbumpable. That sucks, all those old threads, I wanted to post in two of them but what was the point if no one saw them cause they couldn't be bumped?

If the board pages can be expanded, how about extending the time period a thread can be bumped, hmm?
