Idea for Thread Title Lists (naming who started them)

[hub2dee]

In Active Convos, for example, you see long lists of thread titles. Sometimes I think it would be useful to see who created them before I have a look. (We can currently only see who the last poster was).

Does anyone think it would be useful to have the name of the person who started the thread in brackets next to it, or would it be cliquey / irrelevant / annoying ?

For example:

Topic Area: Thread Title (Name of Thread Creator) - Number of posts. Last poster, Time and Date Stamp.

I'd be interested in any comments.

I feel this is more refined

SNURK

children!

Now then, now then. What's all this gratuitous namechanging? I shall be writing my rport and sending it to MN Towers forthwith.

double-Snurk

PMSL!

Sorry, Hub - think that Twiglett's had too much sun and her marmite's gone all sticky

Snurk...

she started it 'onest mister it wuz 'er

It's down to the cop shop with you two 'orrible urchins. Hijacking a thread for your own amusement is a very serious offence, you know.

If you don't stop I shall have to tell Mr Marmite!

Police brutality!

Right, which one of you two started it ? The sneaky looking one or the one who pongs ? Eh ? Eh ?

Me

Hmmm... suitable punishment ?

I know, I'll write to MN HQ and ask that you not even be allowed ONE other name in your name changing arsenal. You will always be locked to just one name whilst everyone else is having fun with their two names, plus one Christmas name. You won't have anyone to play with then and maybe next time you'll think twice about hijacking a very valuable thread.

Hub!

I'm truly shocked

I was only MadamMarmite on this thread! I'm just a trendsetter!

Please reconsider!

I'd choose your one and only name v. carefully indeed.

I can't imagine anyone else would have stooped so low as to change their name for mischief purposes on this thread...

[light dawns]

SNAFU!

I'm not snafu!

or me

Hmmm...

I'm not snafu either

more lists

nor me

If I wasn't confused before, I am now.

I think it's an excellent idea, hub. There are certain posters whos threads I'm more drawn to than others and I would like to be able to identify their threads - as well as avoid threads by those posters who always make me bang my head on the table.

whose.
