Re: notifications and ability to mention someone in a post
On the surface it sounds nice, but this isn't twitter. Were this forum to have its own client or desktop interface I would see it being something useful, especially if said client were cross-platform and one could take it with them on the go, but then we get into the subject of basically making an AOL/MSN/;pick your name messanger or chatter chatting social platform for the ag net community and essentially for blind and vision impaired users, which is what the majority of the audiogaming community consists of right now. Once upon a time, klango was pretty cool... And then it died.
Honestly, it pains me that we're so isolated from mainstream society, but I do not believe the answer lies in simply shutting our doors and creating a social circle we all feel comfortable with, which is one of the reasons I bought chicken nugget for twitter as well as an iOS device. It really doesn't matter now, since people seem to be leaping off the social media b
andwagon as I know it and starting up profiles elsewhere, but the point here is that we have to keep up with the times. One of the reasons an ag net twitter account exists is for the sole purpose of promoting this website and its content on what is still a relatively poppular social media platform. While this forum is an amazing way to send and receive both brief and lengthy messages to one person or a score of individuals all at once, I have always seen it as good at doing what it does, which is promoting and spreading the awareness of audiogames, not at being a socializing platform or a replacement or substitution for such a thing.
For all I've stated above I must vote disinterest in such a feature... the forum is already good enough at being informative as is. If you keep up with your email you can quickly discover which topics are hot and which ones are not. If that doesn't suit you, the new posts option is just as wonderful. Should t
hat not suffice, the active topics link exists as well.
