I’m seeing several posts lately where people say they’ve missed seeing threads. I think the main reason for that is the Active Topics. Personally, I don’t like that methodology. People tend to only look at Active Topics, and so if something gets bumped off it for any reason (not just contest/kyoubai spam, or trolling spam), threads get missed. Same with updates to stickies, they’re very easy to miss if you just browse Active Topics a couple of times a day. And if you go on vacation, forget finding much of anything!

I would prefer the system to work like several other forums I’ve been on, where you can click on a link to see all updated threads since you last visited. One advantage of this is you’d automatically see all threads in secret forums you’re part of, mixed in with all the rest.

And surely if such a thing were implemented, it could be done not only over all posts, but also in each of the two areas of the board (CD and RP) so you could see all CD changes w/o RP spam, and vice-versa.

I’m not averse to having this functionality in addition to active topics, mind you. I’ve just never seen both methodologies living together on any forums Log in to see images!
