What makes a topic disappear?

[legalois]

I've noticed that the main page contains some very old topics that haven't had any posts for quite some time, while others will have a post and then disappear right away.

Steve, can you explain this to us?

Sorry everyone, I'm a dope.

After going back to the main page, I finally noticed that the post on the right matches the topic on the left of it. Give me my dunce cap someone.

Hi Lois,

Actually you bring up a very good point.

There is a lot of information in older posts that will not show up on the main page anymore except when someone adds a response to it.

There is an option to me called "stick post" which will keep a certain post as the lead-in post in a particular topic but if I did that the newer posts will put under the older ones so I don't do that.

Some of the old posts contain some great info so I try to reply to them just to bring them to the main page.
