    should be able to @name too, make forums great again.

    There seems to be a lack of detail regarding how this would actually work. You can already subscribe to threads, and you can already see your friends posts in the forums. Really, the latter there should absolutely be more than …

    lets just change torn to myspace.

Add people to your subscribers list to see when they make a post so you don't need to have to add them to friends

pretty simple idea

you could also make your amount of subs viewable or some shit, would make the forums lit again

I previously made a suggestion that got over 100 likes about being able to tag people on the forums where you can only tag people who have the option enabled and such

https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=17&t=15969422&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=16968785

would be pretty cool if that got added too

peace

I'm all for improvements to the forums.  

Especially since that's where I spend at least 50% of my Torn time anymore.

i mean. with how much freedom i have to customize my profile signature, it's already much closer to myspace than you realize.

and as a separate response to the hashtag comment, you can already search the forum for keywords, so hashtags are basically already a thing.

but more to the point, i like this idea. there are a few people i'd like to follow but wouldn't like to give the satisfaction of adding as a friend. and i already thought tagging people was a thing. there's no reason why it isn't already. r+

Novel idea but I see people getting a lot of updates from those they are subscribed to especially because of threads like fun and games. So much so that it may render checking updates useless coz of information overload.

Although it's still annoying you can't search 3 letters.  Because of stocks and a few other things.

I understand you'd get a lot of results, but sometimes I'd still like to be able to search it and deal with the results.

That would be a very nice addition to our forums. It would actually be a lot faster than going to someone's profile and clicking there forum views to see there recent posts.!

I dont understand why anyone would be against any improvements. a good forum should be robust and feature rich. Torn Forums isnt that. there is an argument to be made that the game is more important that forums but i still believe both are important. R+ from me.
