It's perfectly fine with making a new post if the last one is that much older. Editing a post doesn't make the thread show up as having something new, so if it has gone a while making a new post is the only way to ensure that people will even notice it.

And I've seen this on (well, one) other forums as well. I'm not sure which I prefer though. If it's a recent post, ie made only a few minutes ago or at least not too long ago, it may be nicer to have it display how long ago it was, and if it was a long time ago it may be better to show the actual date and time. Maybe both always. I dunno. Up to Shaggy I guess.
