Edit: bonus points if you can access an individual "my goldmine" section of you forum profile to see the posts you've voted for in case you want to go back and find a specific one without having to troll through a 400 page thread from hell.

I would kill for a feature like this. A personal section of posts you like would be amazing in places where some good content is buried in a megathread.

how many thousands of dollars have goons spent gifting Bad Rats to friends during steam sales?

$0.50 to make make a person's posts wrapped in a speech bubble and have everything they post start with "As a Libertarian, I" for a day is money well spent imo

only if said posts made during that period remain so wrapped and prefixed.

High quality organic optimized content. Lots of it. Ideally stolen from the forums with zero accreditation.

Increase the paywall to peek behind the curtain, with and extra tenner added to the fee every time you get banned.

Real talk: add a goldmine button for individual posts but the counts arent visible user-side, only mods/admins/frontpage can see what posts are getting voted, preferably on a by-subforum basis since each has its own quantity of activity.

Should help aggregate highlights and high-effort quality content without turning in to a lovely popularity contest internet points game.

SA is a community built around the forums. How do separately published articles fit into the forum model? Not at all, it turns out. Even if an article attracts some people, they will read it and go away - no lasting influence on the health of the website.

If there is any future for front page articles at all, it should be in a form that is fully integrated into the forums. Articles should lead to engagement with posters, either by making articles into forum threads, or by making some script that would attach threads to articles published in a CMS. Either way, opening up any front page content should ultimately take you to the forums.

Also 1) articles and "static" content should only take up a minority of the front page, with the rest dedicated to showing active threads and threads / posts pinned by mods. 2) The dated content of the front page shouldn't be more than couple of weeks old, or people will naturally assume the site is dead.

we should absolutely adopt the model of "hot threads featured prominently on the front page," a technique used prominently on the LivingWithStyle forums.

FWIW some of the ex frontpage writers did keep up the D&D swat articles, on their own personal offsite, so the last crop of us kind of assumed we'd be stepping on their toes if we brought it back after they had left.

i'm not saying don't make threads about it, just that's the reason why we didn't go forward with our plans. i co-wrote a fashion SWAT piece about the opening songs for some bollywood movies but ultimately we felt it ran close to what others had already done.
