When you go to click on a topic, it's blue. Yes? Good. So, you come home from school and see the biggest pile of terd on your screen with the most spam on Gods green earth piled up before your very eyes and you look for the decent posters to read their topics. Well, wouldn't it be easier if instead of the topic being blue, it adjusts to whether they be notable, regular or newbie? Therefore, all newbies would get no replies, regulars would get a few - depending on the topic, and notables would get loads.

We all win and come out with a big fat smile on our faces. Cos we all know, newbies smell and we hate them.

On another note, I hate you all and think you should burn in hell. :-)

I thought up this idea a long time ago Tom.

I even thought about 'hot' topics, and even 'not' topics. How many posts etc. Just to make the forums that bit funner.

Anyways, it didn't get used. :(

Dust myself off and try again and all that.

The creat'er-no' of everything.

I suggested this a while back, but I think they ignored me. I was going to re-suggest it today actually - but now I don't have to :D

Yeah, it would be unfair on the newbies to have their topic in a different colour.

So I'm thinking the topic names and authors should be masked as well, just to be even fairer.

Don't like it. It doesnt give threads from newbies equal chance. People would know they were newbies and avoid them from past experience, giving quality new posts less opportunity.

That might something to do with you being banned 84 times and having been here for, well too long.
