    why doesn't vbulletin (the sw this forum runs on..)

    .. notify you if you've been quoted? would make it so much easier to follow discussions.

      Because that would be a pain in the ass to program and I think it would piss off more people than you know.

          GFY kind of stretches Vbulletin to it's limits.. its rare to have a forum this busy on it.

          It's more geared to moderate useage. I bet Lensman and co, had to mod it pretty heavily to actually make it useable.

            they should find out what they're doing over at the SomethingAwful.com forums, they consistantly run 3000 active posters at a time and it runs pretty durn well, extremely fast moving board using VBulletin

                well you could set some parameters.. like only notify me if the poster has something useful to say (is quoted by another person or 2)..

                  there's a vb2 hack called "Who quoted me? " that lets you see who/where you were quoted..

                  takes about 3 minutes to install.

                      Yeah I am sure they hacked the hell out of the software as well to get that kind of performance.

                      I love Something Awful too.

                          Actually it wouldn't be very hard to program that. Probably the reason no one does that is that it would reduce page views?
