FF 2.0 will obviate any need to subscribe to threads. In fact, all such features will be removed. FF 2.0 will show you precisely the threads it knows* are important to you, and no others.

At times and frequencies selected by an intelligent learning algorithm, :ff: 2.0 will deliver all relevant content directly to your cerebral cortex by means of a global network of broadcasting rigid airships, which also monitors your thoughts and [thanks] in real time. This is called the cloud.

As a user that is constantly on the go between places, and having only had internet access through my cell phone for several months; I did not find tapatalk to be up to par with the full forum experience; making my participation null and void over this year. The forum itself is great, if you have the time or access to a PC to sit and read threads. The Tapatalk application is great to navigate as opposed to a typical cellphone browser, but it is no match for :ff: as the domestic chore of thanking and replying that it is meant to be, So a more fluid mobile version would be nice.

Not only because I have a desperate need for validation, but because it's the easiest way for me to navigate back to the discussions I've joined.
I'm not the only one that accesses :ff: through the thanks page? I almost feel less pathetic now. I have always checked thanks to see where my interaction left off. Mostly because I always needed desperate validation. Is that what keeps people here? Probably not. You can get validation anywhere. I come to :ff: because there is a very specific user base that I like to interact with and interesting discussions. I like your idea of a self-organizing forum by way of subject matter. Perhaps if we organized threads by interests people could follow interests that pertain to them (say, #science, #history, #literature, etc.). Maybe a fixed library set by you and liv as a replacement to sub-forums; then there could be a "stream" of threads/replies pertaining to personal interests placed in the portal or something. I don't know about programming forums, though.

I do love the format here and I am heartened that Mr. Mammaries is interested in keeping the overall look. I know that there's another, lesser forum out there that uses a more out-of-the box (i.e., uglier) version of vB and has basic tag functionality -- any member can just add any tag they want, whether existing or brand new. I don't know how useful it would be here, considering that there aren't thousands of new posts per day. But if it were implemented, I would use it, at least to add lots of unnecessary, snarky tags to everything.
I also feel like the look should be kept or else we'll all feel robbed of our :ff: experience.

Having a lot of free time helps a lot here, and I think that's part of the problem causing low forum traffic. Users can't jump in and participate without sifting through a bunch of subjective content first; or if they do, they do so blindly before the girly gang and then they get eaten alive. Think of the n00bs.
