A bump system, used to keep things circulated. That way you don't have to worry about grave-digging; people will just keep what's useful/popular circulated, kind of like the RuneScape forums.

I don't think this is needed at all.
The community is small enough that the important stuff IS kept bumped/stickied/otherwise noticeable.
Plus.. that's kinda what posting on a thread does. Bumps it to the top. That's how popular/useful topics are, how you put it, "circulated".
It's pretty much the not popular and un-useful topics that end up old enough to be considered "grave-digging" when you post on them

I've suggested this before awhile ago. Apparently it's not a good idea.

And people also seem to only read unread posts and new replies anyway. At least I do,

No, I, along with many many guests, go far back into the older topics.

[logic]Some of the older posts are quite interesting/helpful/entertaining, but people can't give full recognition because of the grave-digging rule.

Also, what's useful/entertaining is a complete matter of opinion.

Finally; Ry and Co. are trying to get Worldscape more renown, and with that - more players. The community may be small now, but there may be a rather large influx of new players, therefore making a bump feature not so irrelevant.[/logic]

That doesn't mean people can't read them now.

Even with a large community, I don't see the need for it.
As a member of multiple forums this has never been a problem..
Plus, the function would be horribly abused once/if we get a lot more people.
