Isn't the joke about this that the list in the song lyrics aren't things that are necessarily ironic, they're just things that would immensely piss you off...and that the song is by Alanis Morrisette?

I would've put an irony icon in the first place but unfortunately we don't have one

A way to filter the unread messages view. I don't read YYFY, new-wad-on-the-scene (sorry mums and dads), the compiler, for example; I know other people do so some kind of user customisable hide-thread-feature?
Something that pulled threads with loads of action on to the top. A hot topic icon?
- Better integration with the factual parts that are useful resources. The number of times I've had to search for days to find a bit of info I knew was in there and wanted to send to somebody. It took me 10 minutes to find the board building FAQ the other day. Some kind of feature/list where actual USEFUL DATA threads (e.g. the be all and end all how to fix your fucked elbow/finger/shoulder/itchy nob thread list) are pulled together into more of a reference - jumping off links into old threads maybe.

Collate the useful information from the forums, write it up into the Wiki with links to the original threads. Already a section on Pulley Injuries and Elbow Injuries.

Yes, I think this is probably the right final destination. Current problem is not everything useful ends up in there - my feeling is that the wiki is below critical mass at the moment, and so it doesn't get used because there's not enough stuff in. I was wondering if there was a middle ground - that involved less effort so was easier to get stuff in...
Right, but that needs me to count and be arsed.
Implementation is another matter!
Can someone tell Chris that slackers is posting on his login.
