*Polls. Every time someone voted, it warranted it popping to the top of the first page. It was the silent equivalent of a poster desperately crying "bump" when their thread goes inactive. You could vote on a thread that hadn't been posted in for three months, drifting down the tenth page, and it'd come back. And most likely, someone would post on it, thinking they found something new until they saw the dates everywhere.
