I've customized Squishdot myself to add this feature, which is very useful
in collaborative work. The effect is that topics (threads) which have
ongoing activity stay near the top of the list. Threads that become quiet
slide down the list until they fall off the bottom. This serves to highlight
active discussions and works nicely in support of workgroups and committees.
I'd recommend that you make this an option in ZUBB.
