As for bumping, I think that increasing the time limit for in-game and forum promotion would have been more beneficial. I've learned about auctions based on in-game promotions and I personally didn't find them too spammy and I'm on a popular server - SMP7
My ideal solution I think would be to remove Auctions from "recent threads" and just have section on the home page called "Recent Auctions" displaying auctions. Then the bump time wouldn't need to change and promoting in-game would be fine (b/c I personally don't find it spammy).
