Not "would be" -- "is." It's just not conducive to good discussion or fair use of the forum. We don't like it, and we know it's a common practice on many avatar sites and we don't want to see it spread here. Since forums are all we have, we want the forums to be an interesting place to be, and bumping doesn't serve to make anything interesting; in fact, it defeats the natural "sorting order of interestingness" that a forum left to its own devices will exhibit.
