Removal of the Saved Threads Feature

It has come to my attention that there is a feature called "bookmarking" on my browser and every other supported browser, so I think that we should remove the "Saved Threads" feature from this site. It wouldn't be a big deal, would free up some extra space on the navigation bar, and it could all be solved by other means. If users wanted it back, they could either use bookmarks or write a script which replaces it. [Edited on 02.02.2011 9:36 AM PST]

Is it worth it to you?[/quote] [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Goalie Master 8 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ZYTHON The saved threads feature goes hand in hand with the Top Forum Topics, so removing it would require a re-working or removal of the TFT's system. [/quote] We can remove that too and let scriptwriters deal with it. This site is about Bungie, and just because these threads are popular, it does not mean they are important to the community. These threads may be the most popular on the site, but they're sometimes not exactly welcoming to new members. They get too much attention, and too many people use them. In fact, we should replace them with "bottom forum-topics", ones that have gotten the least posts after existing for a certain amount of time. There might be a reason that these threads are not as popular, but that doesn't matter. We can make them equally popular by featuring them over the top forum topics.[/quote] Absolutely. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] squirrel dude Sorry, but I don't have room for that many bookmarks. Seriously, I think I have over 30 saved threads. I probably need to get rid of some. I just don't have room to do that. I think it's a good feature, and I unless there is a new feature that we must have, and it is preventing it from being created/put in place, I don't see why it should be removed.[/quote] But you have to prove your dedication. People not willing to add bookmarks, those who don't have space, those who are too lazy, those who are browsing from mobile devices, and those who are using this site from machines they don't own or can't modify do not belong in the Flood. Sure, it may be a feature you all use, but we need to make room for other features, you see because they are underused for absolutely no reason. The Halo 2 forum is an important part of the site and needs to be used more.
