It makes a lot of sense in a multi area forum.

I would have

Royals
MU
National Champion Kansas Jayhawks
KSU
NFL Draft
etc.

Check out WWII history.

Thiis place already seems to have more bells and whistles than it can handle.

If a way to filter some prefixes and keep others is unearthed, wouldn't that render D.C. obsolete? People who don't want to see those threads could just filter "Politics" and "Religion" prefixes.

How could people not want to see poop threads?

I don't know if there's enough threads created to have it seperated by team. The only recent MU thread I can think of is the baseball thread, and I don't remember the last time I saw a KSU thread. I wouldn't mind seeing all College threads, for example.

I like the idea of being able to exclude, so it would be cool if we could find a hack for that... I'm no web guru, but I think the best thing would be to have classes, so the prefixes KU, MU, KSU would go into College; and you can either view by College or exclude KU, MU, KSU, or College.

NFL
MLB
Exclude MLB
College
Exclude College
Exclude MU
Exclude KSU
Fark
Exclude Fark
Exclude Poop
Exclude NSFW


Just how my nerdy programming mind works.... but I'm not the one not getting paid to work on it, so good luck with that. :evil:

I actually had thought of that, and it would be pretty cool to be able to go to a single-forum format with multiple categories that people could pick and choose to fit their own interests.

Unfortunately, that still seems a ways off. We'll see.

That's kinda sorta what I have in mind. Basically, we'd eliminate the ability to choose an icon, and would instead have the prefix option in there. In the main forum, we'd just move the "prefix" icon into the place where the current thread icon lives. I don't want to make any major changes yet, though, until I figure out if it's a useful enough feature to keep around.

OK, I've got a pretty good idea of how this works. It's not really what I was looking for at this point, but I may turn it back on in the future. Thanks for the comments, all.

Forget about it. Your a mod, it's part of your job description to abuse your new found powers.

Oh, I'm all for abusing powers. But not when making changes would take up to an hour to make and more than that to put back.

I can figure things out around here, but I'm by no means a web guru.
