I tried to bump the 2a03.org thread and got this error:

"WARNING! THE FOLLOWING ERRORS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE YOUR MESSAGE CAN BE POSTED:
USERS THAT ARE NEW TO THE SITE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BUMP TOPICS THAT ARE OLDER THAN 3 MONTHS."

Then I tried to reply to the other thread about this error and, well...

I don't think it really an error, more like a feature.

Don't know if it's a good one tho. It kinda defeats the point where we tell every new guy to use the search before starting a new thread.

Why is this the first time someone has said something about it, after 800 closed threads ending in "lurk moar?"

I've been here since 2010, I don't think this is a feature!
