[ [b][u]Idea[/u][/b] ]: separate section below where you type the body of your thread for a thread summary; maximum of 140 characters (hey, it worked for Twitter); appears as you hover over a thread title; is viewable in smaller, grayer font above all OPs once you enter a thread*; it is optional, and thus not required to fill out before you make a thread; one *enter* counts as 100 characters since you shouldn't need it and it would reduce the annoyance of any possible spam people could create with it.
*the text within the summary is subject to the same forum rules as any other bit of text you choose to imprint onto these electronic pages.
Sorry about the lazy writing. I'm about to make this thread and go to bed so I'm not much for cleverly articulating my genius ideas.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x This site is not Facebook. This site is not Twitter. This site is not 4chan. This idea has been suggested a thousand times before. I like the forums the way they are right now. This idea will cause elitism. This feature would be abused. I prefer to judge posts on their content. This community used to be great. The dark background is better. Why don't you just use coup, OP?[/quote]I'm not sure whats funnier...Foman [i](who is increasing gaining my manly love, which admittedly may be unwanted, but isn't optional)[/i]. Or the fact anyone responded to him in a serious way...Even slightly. OT: I get the idea...But no. I can see it only being useful for REALLY long posts...Which if they are that long, are either not thought out, or are highly detailed. Which in either case makes a summary pointless.
