Not really a huge issue. It doesn't kill me, but it's just annoying and pointless. Saw like 3-4 threads this morning bumped from like 100-1000 days ago, with nothing relevant to the thread at all, like "hmmm"
Floods the front page to relevant topics of interest.
Edit:
Example:
http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/67/server-economy/#944004Well, it's not harmful to the community in any way--what you might consider "annoying and pointless" may not be so for others who might have missed the thread and want to contribute a response.
As to the relevance of the response--well, that's not exactly strictly enforced on these forums, is it? :P
TL;DR: Relevance is in the eye of the beholder.
