Here's my response, but it's not official because I'm not the mod of that section:

In my opinion, no, that exception doesn't apply there. Consider this: If there were 29 people with hangout threads in Club House, and those 29 people all made a habit of bumping their threads when they got knocked down onto page 2, it would be a constant cycle of bumping, because every post would ALWAYS knock someone down to page 2. (There are two stickies in Club House and there are 30 threads per page.) The point of the front page is to give easy access to threads that are actually seeing activity, and bump posts disrupt that by putting a thread that people AREN'T posting in at the top. (If people WERE posting in it, the bump post wouldn't be necessary, after all.)

The exception for adding actual content always applies to every thread in every section at all times -- if you have something significant to add to the thread, and it's been long enough that you couldn't just reasonably edit it into your last post, an extra post is always okay, even if you're still on the first page. That's why our necroposting rule has nothing to do with time and everything to do with adding something useful to the thread.

Edit: Just to reiterate: This is my personal opinion, not official Trisphee staff policy.
