The purpose is to make the ratings of the old posts more comparable to the new ones, which can only happen when they get as much attention as new ones get, which requires a deliberate effort on the part of regular visitors to make sure their appreciation of older posts is reflected in an upvote.
And upvoting shouldn't have much to do with when you happen to have need of them. If you like a post and want to refer back to it, that's what the "save" feature is for. Or bookmark it.
Any reason I got -2 for this suggestion btw?
Dunno about the -2. I didn't vote you down. And I meant "those articles that I tend to reference most, that I tend to find most useful to link to to explain a concept are probably the ones most worth voting up"
But I guess for consistency, you may be right.
