Why is it that some old questions will show recent activity yet when looking at the question page, nothing indicates any change?

For example, How to combine with openvpn, dynamic-ip? has its last activity marked as today, but there are no new comments, edits or answers.

Why does this happen?

Community digs them up once in a while, it is a system process that brings two old, unanswered questions to the front page every hour.

  • that's right @Sathya, @random is correct. I remember observing it, and reading about it somewhere, but I don't think I can find it again.
