CloseI was thinking there should be a few ways to be Notified by the Forum:
a) You should have the option as a thread creator to have all subsequent posts trigger a Notice
b) You should be able to subscribe to a thread, so you can see additional posts
c) The forum should notify you when someone uses the Reply button on a post you've made. This should definitely be something people can disable, though.
Plus anything else anyone can think of?

That could be replaced by subscribing to threads, and get rid of the urge to post "Subscribing!"
Yeah, but I've never seen anyone post "Subscribing!" and since I don't WANT to see it, I'm not thinking post-subscribe is such a good idea anymore seeing how so many more people are active on the forums than articles. I think that's half the reason it's not annoying in articles, though.

I'd actually rather not be notified about forum posts. I don't have a problem checking up on threads, and I'd rather only be notified about game progress instead of random discussion! I don't care about that so much, y'know?
...of course this is coming from the chick who once spammed up two comment pages talking about male genitalia on her gamepage, so what do I know, really. OTL

This.
I honestly don't like forum notifications too. I rather have my notices only for gamepages since you know, I can always check back on the forum to see if the thread has replies or just completely forget about it since it's not that important to game making :X

These would be optional, requiring you to subscribe to have an option checked in your forum settings.
If you don't want them, you just don't use them.
I'm trying to gauge whether its possible in RMN's forum setup and whether the time it will take to implement is worthwhile.

Speaking of Notifications, it'd be great if we could change what we're notified of when we subscribe to games. I only care about the things the author posts. It's awful when I get my hopes up only for it to be a user posting about something.

I'd like to be able to subscribe to forum topics.
At least Favorite them so I have a quick list of topics I want to check up on. Sometimes I post and forget about it for a few weeks then it's a pain to go back and find it. Or if there is a piece of useful information posted I can favorite it for later.
You could have favorites with an icon indicating a new post, so you wouldn't clog up the notices with posts. Just check your topic list and look for icons. That's one way of doing it that would minimal and kind of neat.

I really don't think most topics last long enough to warrant something like this.
And the ones that do are likely to stay at the top of the page.
If you want to keep track of a topic that bad open a new tab with it and forget about it.
