Another +1 for couchmaster.
Simple button on each thread where you can give it a star or thumbs up or whatever.
Then have a simple drop down above the forum list where we can choose to organize all threads by vote count for a given time frame: most highly voted today, this week, this month, this year, all time.
Easy way for us who visit only once in a while to get at climbing content and skip past the other stuff.

"Be afraid of what you wish for"
Why? It's the internet, silly--nobody dies, their inane comments live forever, but are buried all the same. A retrieval system is not to be feared. Or thought useless or irrelevant or a waste of time as a point of speculation. I'm just saying, we are people of ST, not machines of ST.
Am I right? :)
Photoshop whackos of ST (including esp. Ouch).

Already my favorite thread of the day. Hah, we got some funny folks around here, and some thinkers too.
Heck even Fatty managed a grin out of me:-)
Wonder where Locker is gonna fit in(no plug/oops, I mean pun intended).

"We already do this with comments."
I fail to understand what you mean by "comments." You mean like this rebuttal? (Call it what you will, but not a whatchamacallit.)
The nit-pickers of ST?
"True that. Don't matter, anyway. Not much really does."--ST person, recently

Yeah a way so that it is possible to log on and in fifteen minutes have seen everything that is the least bit interesting. Then as it is updated each day you can spend less than two minutes and log the hell off.
And a rating system like those that allow you decide whether to do the climb with yellow painted holds or the blue ones. Cool!
You guys have to work harder at being up to date as to how you actually function. Hawkins' case for us being totally uncontrollable predicting machines means our failure to predict successfully is the only event that fully engages us. We love surprise. We love mystery(Krauss/Feynman)
What is it you love the most when you find buried in blather a well phrased exposition of an event or idea that was totally unpredictable.
The best climbs are those that have surprises one after the other.

Oh, like the Five Open Books, complete with bookmarks to make sure we don't confuse Surprise with Bridwell's Surprise, the Jungle with Werner's Ant Tree, the Commitment with Bridwell's Surprise, the Werner's Ant Tree with the Green Strip, ad nauseum. I kinda like being confused. Post-its. File cards. Notes on the palm. Everyone's favorite, the paper clip. There is a viable way to do this. Probably not happening in my life time.
Climmer just contacted me (I got vibed): Helmets and GPS! It's all in the helmet.

The Goats of ST.
This looks like we're going in a circle, folks, like a buncha goats at a goat fu-estival. Herd instinct. Deep thought reveals shallow grazing here.
The animals of ST who have people's names for their nicknames.

Hmmmm...how about a list called the "Glue of Supertopo" or perhaps "Guides of Supertopo"? (No, I'm not starting a debate here just let me finish my thought, for Pete's sakes before ya'll come out of your corners swinging!)
Being very new around here, but not unobservant, I've noticed and come to really appreciate the folks that keep things interesting, keep good things rolling, step in and make a newbie feel welcome, point folks to related threads of interest, etc.
I'm at the end of my workday, and my brain is balking. What the heck do you call those piles of stones used to mark direction/paths? (And I don't mean breadcrumbs or trail markers...) Sigh...that would probably be a better word than either of the above. :D
Edit: Inuksuk. That was the word...can't believe I had to google it.

"Glue of Supertopo"
Or in the case of Locker "Glue Sniffer of SuperTopo)." May be a category of one?
