WE WILL STOP THE UNDER THREAD THING!

I SIGN IT FOR THE NAME OF JUSTICE!

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I do not sign because I think the comic potential for the line is far too high.

Im forced to agree with Karnaj.

When used properly this title can produce much funny. But I also agree how its annoying.

Im stuck between the two! So I vote for both, if thats possible.

I don't like it because it's more spam on the boards, it messes up the display when I have to use the mac at work, and it makes the EC board look like some crappy VNboard or EZboatd

Personally, I think it should only go into effect on hot topics, or threads over one page.

Alternately, include a feature on each post that lets readers vote for it. The post with the most votes gets its first sentence up on the big board.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

I don't really like it, because the underwords can sometimes totally mis-state the purpose of the thread.

If the maker of the thread had the ability to choose which sentence to use, or whether to have it, that'd be fine and dandy.

I beleive... that under the 'subject' line, perhaps there could be an optional 'description' line, which would allow you to enter in text and specifically set what people see in that space under the subject.

And why is the under-the-text thing so inconsistent? Many threads don't have it at all...
