I'd like to see a "What would Jack Bauer do" utility on the side menu. You can ask it questions and it could give random answers. Then you could take clever submissions and post them in a WWJBD thread and we could discuss. It would be totally sweet and awesome.

NB: DOUBLE POST FROM ANOTHER THREAD

alrighty.. now threads jump to the top of the list if you either make a new post or edit an old post.. so it's a more accurate representation of "most recently updated" ordering for the threads on the main page.

Edit: I'm not really sure if that's the behavior I want though. What do you guys think - when someone edits a post should the thread be labeled as "updated" and thusly move to the top of the threads list.. or should a thread be "updated" only when an entirely new post is added?

I'm going to request that any local links (i.e. linking to one thread from another thread) remain in the same window whereas any outside links (i.e. linking to http://lolerville.funnyVideos.com/someAwesomeVideo.wmv) keep the current behavior of opening in a new window.

Once we start getting the large number of threads a threaded forum gets you're going to want some dynamic automated way for the most alive threads to be readily available. Whether that means changinig the order of the threads or having a seperate "recent posts" section of the window it's got to happen somehow.

We might also want to consider having more than one "forum" to segregate different kinds of threads. Just looking at what kinds of posts/threads we have already News/media general discussion and "How much does Shawn like men" forums seem like a good idea.

"WWJBD" is better than "ask Jack Bauer." Ask him he'll tell you.

Also I'd either like to see frames or the scrolling sidebar like you said.
That is all.
