Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:6 coffee2code]:
 > #4025 essentially wanted a change for older topics, which were at the
 time getting a `noindex, nofollow`, to instead get a `noindex, follow`.
 Line 46 is what targets these older topics (more than a year since last
 activity).
 > `( time() - get_post_time( 'U', true, $post ) > YEAR_IN_SECONDS )`

 Right, topics older than a year already had the `noindex` tag, regardless
 of replies. It was implemented at some point when the forums were still on
 bbPress 1.x, and then ported to bbPress 2.x in [3667].

 [8044] did not affect that logic here, only changed `nofollow` to
 `follow`.

 Is there any benefit in removing `noindex` for topics older than a year
 that have replies?
