The current system isn't perfect, but it does tend to keep songs that are good enough to merit a lot of comments on page 1 or 2 for at least a few days.

Having your songs scroll away faster if nobody comments on them is also a good way to encourage newbies to participate in the commentary. If you don't listen and comment to other peoples songs, they won't listen and comment on yours, so they scroll away faster. Pretty simple form of positive reinforcement if you ask me.

Songs being bumped means there are lots of comments happening, which is the evidence that lots of people are participating in both directions. Healthy forum.





Stop being so rational, Pat. grin
