I'm actually somewhat surprised this plase isn't :10bux: a year, seems like the most obvious solution but I'm sure there would be some kind of massive dropoff of users then because we're all broke failsons

Same. Yeah, I don't know how that'd affect membership. I'm sure a ton of inactive, or seldom active accounts would drop off of the face of the earth.

ironically reading a dying internet forum full of bitter old men (not that anyone in this thread is necessarily bitter or old) for a few years does wonders to incite you to be more positive and open in your daily life

it's hard to read gbs and not come away feeling like it's a direct line into the delusions of the balding, muttering genXer in cargo shorts behind you in the mcdonalds queue

it's hard to read gbs period.

Yep. @Mentions, new posts notification when you are on a thread, maybe a live list of the folks who are currently looking at a given thread. I like the livestream mode from valeyard's chrome addon. A native version of that would be sweet.
