Would essentially reset the time stamp but without actually resetting it, so it's treated like a brand new post. Would need some restrictions, like maybe a thread can only be bumped 3 times?

I want the bumping for continuing certain conversatons, so x-posting wouldn't work.

I'd like to hear more about how you'd like to use it.

I'd use it for active meta discussions that get quickly buried by the daily news cycle - like the one from 2 days ago that hasn't been resolved yet.
Emma just changed the sorting algorithm to give posts with comments priority, and that might be enough. The linux convo has stayed at the top of the page for a while.

Or a quota of, say, 3 bumps per month.

This seems ripe for abuse. I get the appeal of the idea, but I don't know how we could limit the abuse of it.
