Yes, here is what happens:

1. person does a search, finds 2+ year old thread that he likes to 
respond to.
2. Entire thread gets pushed to the "most recent" posts on forum/newsgroup
3. Others now see the thread (possibly for the second time), and don't 
realize it's old, and read it thinking it's about today.

A nice thing might be to make color of posts on forum.dlang.org based on 
recentness, 2+ month old be one color, 1+ year be another.

This wouldn't help with newsgroup users, but it probably would help with 
forum users.
