I just noticed in I keep getting lame answers on SO in the Active tab, but could find no recent modification. It seems the modification was the awarding of badges to the author.

The modification was that I migrated it from Stack Overflow to meta.

If you look at meta.stackoverflow.com/users/781?tab=recent#sort-top, there are four badges listed as awarded very close to each other. Is that due to the migration? Aug 20, 2009 at 21:56

@John: I don't think they really get transferred, but they do seem to trigger an event that calculates what badges should be awarded. Those badges are because the question got moved, though. I say they aren't directly transferred because I know some badges, specifically badges that are tied to number of page views, do not get automatically awarded on meta when a question is moved from SO.

Community will randomly bump topics to the top, even if they were inactive.
