Is it just me, or is it getting more difficult to find topics that third and twelve themselves off the main page and into forum oblivion?

Topics seem to be unavailable in a listed chronological fashion accessible on the front page after a couple hours.  I know this is a function of newly posted stuff on top, but is there an easier way to get to those that pass on?

I swear, it's like our forums have assumed the uptempo pace of our offense!

For instance...it's 8 pm...at 11 pm, this topic will slink off into oblivion.  Sad.  So sad.
