8. Me too, but if something needed to be changed, let us Rec ALL posts
There are many times when the most interesting posts are responses to others.

7. You want we should add sound effects, hmmmm?
You know, little whistles and dings when you hit buttons, maybe buzzers if you misspell a word?

I'll give it a week, we still have the best interface by far among the boards I've seen.

14. If the question is 'why', the answer is 'why not?'
Personally I like being able to rate stuff negatively as well as positively.

You had no way to indicate 'this sucks'. now you do.
I thought the old system was pretty useless, what with people demanding stuff be sent to the greatest page and so on - which you could always find 5 people to agree with. I, personally, am quite happy to see an option which allows me to mark a thread as not being worthwhile.
