Front page doesn't display same events as event archive about writeoff HOT 1 CLOSED

Events are considered active if it or its most recent post are less than 2 months old.

This behaviour allows old events to eventually move off the front page, while also allowing people to revive an old event and have their comment seen.

I think your confusion is that the active events are sorted by creation date, but the selection criteria is mostly determined by last post date. Typically, selection and sorting criteria are the same (comments bump a thread to the top), so it's somewhat confusing.

It would be clearer that this is the behaviour if active events were sorted by last post, but I prefer it this way since more recent events are more relevant.
