idea for keeping posts relevant

Just what you need Tomba .. a new idea to consider.

IMO, postings would be concise and responsible if a poster could see how many users were following a thread. Something like a text in the posting form "This thread is being followed by 51 people".

Often times these otherwise great posts die a sudden death when they devolve into a two person argument/disagreement/war of words. If posters could see just how subscribed a thread was they might feel more likely to post things that are relevant to the thread, not their own little squabbles.

Just a thought ..

That would require the forum idiots to think of some one besides there selves. Not going to happen

I follow many threads, but I don't subscribe to any.

+1 I only use subscription for forums I rarely visit. I don't need this function here since I read F1T daily.
