    This is not a thread to bitch about OT or the Website in general, as I am obviously a huge fan and visit daily. My intention is just to give everybody a place to throw ideas out there. Things that they would like to see added, deleted, tweaked, etc.

    One thing I have seen mentioned a few times is a "Like" feature for posts within a thread. This is one that I would like to see happen. Tho I could see it affecting discussion within a thread. As in somebody just clicking the "Like" button instead of quoting and replying with something that could spark further debate. As I said, I'd like to see it added, but could understand if they chose not to.

    What yall fellers/laders think about it? Throw some ideas out there.

    In case you didn't notice there is a like button on every thread, and this isn't reddit we don't need to "upvote" posts.

    I really like the "like" feature. There are so many times people post something that's funny or awesome or w/e and I want to show appreciation for that, but quoting it and say "lol" is like the most withered thing ever, so often I just don't say anything. Would love a "like" button.

    Really use some more night time posters. Idk if we do it by raffle or what but there is gonna have to be a mandate that atleast 15-20 oters are up late night.

    I think there should be a little microphone icon next to the pic/vid icons, that allows us to post a recorded response in a thread.

    Allow threads to be categorized (sports, politics, TV/Movies, etc.). Don't create separate forums for each, but allow users to apply filter to (say) show only sports threads, or hide all political threads.

    Not the greatest idea - just throwing shit against the wall.

    I like the idea of a Like for the same reasons as above. Quoting with a "lol" is too much effort

    This actually sounds pretty cool. Being strictly audio, the worst that could happen would be somebody toolin out and cussing up a storm. Keep the ideas comin. If we get a few different good ideas we might be able to put them to a vote and see if an admin could make something happen. Who knows.

    I think i used to be able to read PM convo's like an email exchange, now i can only read one response at a time. I dont like that. That might be what threaded view means, idk.
