From my perspective, it's not about hiding this topic.  There's an entire subforum dedicated to it; it's easy to find and go there whenever you want.

This change is more about giving the "little guy" (i.e. the random, odd, or unusual topic) a chance to be seen in the "recent" list.  Some people don't spend the time to go through each forum to see "what's new", so this is a way for new threads, which might die under the old rules, to live another day.  Which will hopefully spur more traffic and varied conversations and more unique posts.

Of course you don't think its about hiding the topic since you oppose flat earth. The 'recent topics' makes all subjects available to everyone easily.  Those who favor globalist science bombed the flat earth forum with new topics, and in far greater numbers than flat-earthers.  Apparently, the constant barrage of new topics to the forum on that subject was intentional; for the purpose of getting the topic sidelined.  Otherwise, leaving a topic available on recents reveals what's hot and what's on people's minds.  In that way, Catholics are exposed to a variety of things they might not otherwise bother to investigate or hear about.  There's no doubt it's an attempt to quash information or it wouldn't have been done.
