How do long-lived posts work on this Community Beta?
On GD, a post remains on the front page (and can be dredged up by necro'ing) as long as people keep posting in it.
Do you have to continually receive upvotes to remain on the front page?
What if I want to continuously receive feedback on a thread over a long period of time? Do new people have to consistently stop by and upvote my thread?
What if I'm fine with the discussion/thread only having the same visitors, even if I want to get more viewership? Will I have to have the thread constantly garnering new attention in order to have it remain easily viewable to those who would be new attention?
The hypothetical situation I fear is thus:
1)Make thread
2)Thread over time receives tons of upvotes or something (we'll say like 300+)
3)Upvotes slow down as there are less and less people who can still upvote it
4)Thread drops in page ranking over time as it cannot continue to gain new upvotes, even if it's a hot topic.
5)Thread falls behind first page
6)Thread stops receiving new members
7)Thread disappears.
Is this how Community Beta works or is there some safeguard against this?
