    Short answer is that it doesn't hurt. In fact, it makes your post stand out on the results page a little more.

    Google has been doing this for a couple of years now, for both forums and blogs. In essence, they are very similar in style. A forum opening post is the same as a blog post. Everything that follows are comments. Google can recognize patterns on the page to do so.

    If your "last post" date is from a couple of years ago, then depending on the searcher, they may make a more informed decision of whether your post is current enough for their needs. This can be good for them, maybe not so good for you however. In most cases this will probably not matter unless you are posting about something current.

    You are not far off in that supposition. Most WordPress blogs, or any blog for that matter, have a basic "footprint" that is unmistakable. There are posts and comments, and the structure is easy to spot. Plus the fact that there are Post and Comment feeds in WordPress blogs, Google reads those as well and makes its job a little easier.

    If you want to get rid of "it", you got to get rid of most of "that".
