AutoBump Threads Periodically For 12 Hours Without Replies.
Mod Version: 1.00, by Attilitus

A new version has been released for vBulletin 3.7. It still works with vB 3.6 and vB 3.5
AutoBump - Automatically Bump Threads

This modification will simply bump all threads which have no replies after 12 hours.

Every 30 minutes a cron script will run and check for threads with no replies that were posted in the last 12 hours. It will then bump all of those threads by modifying the Last Post time to the current time. It will not modify the "thread creation time" so threads will only be "auto-bumped" once. No "bumping" will occur for any threads with 1 or more replies.

This helps ensure that topics that have gone without replies get a second chance before they are forever lost to the abyss of the 2nd page of the thread listing.

If you wish to customize just modify the file autobump_cron.php and change the line:

Simply modify the number 43200 to whatever time period to want the "cutoff" for bumping old threads to be.

You can also change the times when the Cron runs by going into vBulletin Scheduled Tasks and changing the crontimes for autobump_cron.

Enjoy, and click install if you want. (Such a small mod... but still)
