so i'm going to let you guys know what it is so you can profit from my genius

"forumabout"

it allows users to make "forums about" other webpages which don't (or where it's not even feasible to) provide their own medium for discussion. So obviously a "forum about" d2jsp would be useless, but what about news organizations? what about individual youtube videos where the comment section doesn't suffice for a proper discussion?

some website obviously shouldn't deserve an entire forum, but maybe a miniaturized version of a board, somehow.


great or greatest idea?





just kidding, don't use it. I'll sue you.

Sounds like a huge list of forum, taking shitloads of capacity.

yup.

Doesn't PHPBB and all other forum software already do this?

Lay off the salvia.

?

Uh, what? How does forum software do what I just suggested?

maybe you could even upvote and downvote the boards, oh wait

Show me where what I just described has been implemented. My idea has nothing to do with rankings. It's not like reddit or digg, so I don't know what you're talking about.

reddit or digg is the only way good way to implement such a thing. if you just mean random forums about websites then there are thousands around

This sounds like a combination of Google reader and bookmark/linking sites. The only way to make it better would be to have some type of browser integration where you can click something that says "See what people are saying about site!!!".

But honestly, I can't stand other people's input when I'm just trying to get a story (this means you CNN and your gay facebook/twitter integration in your newscasts).
