Forums: why not default to Last Added as the sort order, not Hot Activity which shows ancient posts

…albeit with high numbers of views, but probably only because they're old and at the top of the list!
Last Added would make the forum appear current and active and give a better impression to newcomers.

Exactly. I'm always having to change the setting to “last added” before viewing anything in the forums
Or a new option, “last changed”, meaning either added or commented on, is that what Hot Activity is supposed to do but doesn't?
Update: or maybe it does sometimes - this went to the top of Hot Activity after adding a comment.
I think the problem is there's something else swamping the ‘new updates go to top’ rule, making old items go to the top maybe just because they've been read again, or have high static views.
