Your examples are quite extreme, and using extreme examples to prove a point is faulty logic. Use an average example, like the one in my original post.

I've noticed this in other subs too and I'm going to have to agree with OP that it's a problem. It would be even more of a problem if that new post had to end up on the second page. But I see your point as well.

What if things worked on a time limit? So for a certain period of time, newer posts could have a slight preference over older posts before going into their proper order. And to take it further, what if older posts got pushed towards the bottom over time?

Here's another idea. What if it just worked like a regular forum where posts with the most recent activity go to the top. That would keep relevant conversation closer to the top and anyone who wants to dig around for older stuff will already be looking at the bottom of the page anyway.

Perhaps even a combination of these?
