Sometimes the number of new or updated thread in here is overwhelming...

It might be nice to be able to filter out threads that would have been old had not a particular user (specifiable) added a two word comment to make them new. This is only partially in jest. Some new filtering would really be helpful, or as an alternative an Internet newsgroup interface to all these message so I could do my own filtering.

Another option would be to delete off topic stuff (whether in that category or not) after a few weeks.

Oh btw Mac I don't know if that's possible because LL didn't make these forums, it's made by vBullitin and it's not open source I don't believe.

Maybe they should figure out what Google uses to Webify Newsgroups:

I'd soooo love a newsserver instead of these broken webforums. With a web-frontend like groups.google.com for the NNTP-challenged, and SLRN for me! :)

And a killfile with Darwin in it }:->

Interesting thought, Darwin as OT Czar! Would he allow the rest of us to start a thread? Or would the Linden's have to open OT-II.
