That's certainly a good idea, but that doesn't work for threads where the OP isn't the source of the content (posts about celebs etc). You'd still need a manual option for those types of threads. It does make sense that OP posts would be important by default though.

I'd argue that this is a much worse idea because it would require someone to always be hitting a check box when they are going to make a post. New people wouldn't know to do it, regulars could forget, and for the egotistical you are asking them to admit they have nothing meaningful to add to the thread. It's much harder to identify if someone would be misusing this feature, because it'd be very easy to make a mistake. If you allowed posts to be marked as contributions, however, it would be much easier to discipline those abusing it because its misuse would be born of action, not inaction. The poster would have to consciously decide to make the post as a contribution. If they are doing so incorrectly, they could be warned. If they continued to disobey the rules, they could be banned. To expand on the OP's suggestions, you could have a icon visually different from the usual circle that shows up when there are new "content" posts in a thread, and add a "Only notify me for new content posts" option to the follow button.

I am very impressed overall by the site design: The editor is nice and does a lot of things automatically, it makes use of HTML5 technologies and dynamically updates itself, it is well optimized for mobile platforms, it automatically saves draft posts, it's aesthetically pleasing, etc. Massive kudos to the web devs. I find web design quite interesting and may be developing some of my own projects in the future. I'd be interested to know the reasoning behind the paths that the site generates, as they are quite curious. For example, the home tab generates the path "http://www.curvage.org/forum/index.php?/index.html/", even though omitting the query component returns the page just fine. The path to the this forum is a whopping "http://www.curvage.org/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/23-suggestions". I'm sure there's good reasons for everything (maybe compatibility with a legacy system?), but here are the things I find most odd about the paths: The filename (index.php) is visible. Most big websites (say YouTube) don't show the filename, as it's unnecessary if you form your paths a certain way (like point #3) and have your web server configured to return "index.php" as the index. The entire site is at a /forum subpath. The entire site has multiple sections, so putting everything under a /forum path rather than having /forums, /chat, /browse, etc. makes the paths it generate much less intuitive. The homepage could simply be the root path (/) also. Every page on the site is requested through a query rather than a resource path. I'd imagine this is largely the reason for point #2. I don't think I've ever seen a site do this, and while it must be valid (as the page loads of course), I'm sure this would make RFC 2396 rather grumpy. It looks like all the code for the site has been dumped into a single file. Having a path like /forums/front-desk/suggestions/topicstub[?page=n][#post] seems much cleaner. Right now the path has the word "forum" in it three times. XD Again, don't get me wrong: The software behind this site puts pretty much every other php forum to shame (except maybe Discourse, that's pretty baller). I'm always interested in the stories behind things though, so if there's a good reason things are the way they are, it'd be interesting to know. Thanks!

Well either you figure it out or you die trying.

I don't know... I feel the time has passed. I did actually try dating her but it got to a point where I felt like I was forcing it because she obviously wasn't comfortable with it. It's probably for the best in the end. I was never able to connect with her. She is very closed off, and she never wanted to talk about anything. My attempts at heartfelt discussion with her often ended in her having a panic attack. It didn't help that I was going through the most teenager-y phase possible, god I was awful. I often turned to her to unload my emotion burdens, and it was just too much for her. I just didn't have a spine. I'm pretty sure she's asexual or something similar too, because she just didn't seem to understand attraction. She could see things as cute or romantic, but the concept of sexual drive seemed foreign to her (or she was being closed up on the subject, can't tell for sure). College has helped me develop a sense of identity however, and our relationship has settled on something that's at least not unhealthy. She's dating someone else too. We don't get to see each other much anymore, because of college. I've even asked a girl out here at my college, but it's not going to work. Always hard to dump someone though. :/

Seems a right awful shame that no one else put in a reply, so I'll have to make up for all of them. Inhales Greetings! Salutations! Welcome! Aloha! Oi! (Not sure how one greets another in Austraila, sounds like a cool place though, you guys have all the cool swear words) Welcome to Curvage! We are quite accepting here (for the most part) so don't be afraid to join in the discussion. Society's obsession with being thin is certainly interesting, and I often wonder if it's completely physiological or if there are cultural or social components. I've been meaning to give DnD a try too. If you are looking for like-minded people, this is the place to be. Sometimes we get a bit rowdy but just say the word and I'll give a long disappointed internet stare at whoever is causing the trouble. We must have a chat. I've too have experienced the recent escape from the family religion, and I love science fiction. I'm just generally a curious person. Chemistry is pretty cool too 'cause it makes stuff go boom. Hopefully it hasn't been to long and you still see this.

Welcome to the kool kids club (I use the k on cool for maximum edgy). The cruel thing about body weight is it's almost completely genetic. Many people are just born with bodies that produce excess fat, and no amount of exercise or dieting will fix that. The worst thing is when people get called lazy because of something they can't control. My very best friend in all the world is in a similar situation right now. She is very uncomfortable with her weight and it causes her great anxiety. The great irony of course is that I find her extremely attractive, and I've always felt guilty about it. We were each-other's only friends through high school, and I felt if I told her about my deviance it would make our friendship feel shallow or sexually motivated. I decided it was best to not touch the subject. Glad you're in a place where you can feel confident and pretty; everyone deserves that opportunity.

Where we meeting up? I can't disco dance, but I'll out-white everyone here with my roughly dance-like body spasms and electronic dance music.

They are still sitting on my harddrive, and I can't really afford to be paying for DropBox right now. If enough people are interested I could seed it as a torrent perhaps? Also, I'm pretty sure she submitted a DMCA to the Site That Shall Not Be Named so she may not be planning on returning.

I have an archive of 4.4 GB of her videos in my dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uot1st5mar53f0k/AADaxyi2OOci6Ff3OvBFmKfla?dl=0

For anyone interested in Ani Ka I should have a backup of her account floating around. I'll try to look into it within the next day or so.
