An additon to the forums voting system.

I don't know if this has already been an issue so sorry in advance if this has already been discussed/attempted... What if giving a "discussion" a vote increased its activity? For the people trying to monitor their discussion activity in the "Recent" section. I don't know anyone else's opinion, but I thik voting on something counts as activity. But- that might be just me? Sorry if this is in wrong boards.
