Blitzkrieg. Okay, I know it's old hat for internet boards, but never ceases to amuse me when the nazi comparisons come out in something like this. Thanks for the laugh. Sorry for the belated post on this thread, but I just wondered if it was problematic to make the View New Posts Across All Forums feature display all Bilge and Beyond Tiki posts after all selected posts of tiki categories? This seems like a tiny step toward increasing the tiki focus and I'd guess most TC'ers would prefer it. Even better if it gave some visible cue/bar above the OT forum posts. Second, even if the issue is not bandwidth, most of us would probably prefer that the moderators' valuable time be focused on the tiki forums and new functionality. Would it be feasible make these OT forums more self-sustaining by automating U-Moderate entirely? I.e. the rules for those forums would be that A) almost anything goes; and B) what falls on the short side of "almost" is determined entirely and automatically by the moderating votes of the community, with no special moderate attention required (except in extraordinary circumstances)?
