Suggestions to the forums.

I got two suggestions to the forums that I find quite neat. Or, one of them is quite neat while the other is more or less just for fun.

1) Subscribe to other accounts.

Well, if someone noticed, there is a way to subscribe to a thread so you get notified when a new post have been made in that particular thread. I found a similar idea in another forum and I think it would benefit for some people here.

Well, the idea is that you can subscribe to another forumers account so you get a notification whenever he\she posts. So if you enjoy reading what a certain forumer write, you can just subscribe to his\her account and you get a notification when he\she posts a post or creates a thread. It's as simple as that.

2) A "like" function.

Well, the "like" function is something that I also encountered on another forum, it's more or less an add-on that is made just for fun and will not really benefit except having more number below your post count in your public profile.

Anyway, the idea is that any forumer can choose to "like" any post if the post was funny\if it was a good post or simply because the forumer liked the post. Whenever a post gets a "like" then the creator of the post will get another like count on their public profile. An idea would be to put the like count below the "total posts" count on the public profile.

There would of course be restrictions to that, like that a forumer cannot "like" his own post and that he can only like one post, one time. There could also be a post restriction to be able to use the like function to prevent people from liking it using alt accounts and such, but unless one would get some sort of reward or achievement by having lots of likes then I doubt it wouldn't even matter.

The amount of likes a post has will most likely have to be displayed on the bottom of the post below the signature of the forumer, and instead of having it display "player 1, player 2, player 3, player 4, player 5, player 6 has liked this post" it could display "Player 2, player 3, player 5, and 3 more have liked this post." It could display 3 random people that have liked the post each time someone view the thread that the post is in or it could display the 3 latest people that have liked it.

Just some thoughts and I hope to get some feedback, there is nothing wrong with being inspired of functions and such that other forums have and I bet this forum would benefit if it had some new functions added to it.
