I'd really like to be able to watch forum topics/threads. Then no matter how late someone comments on my song, I'll know about it. ;)

An obvious solution would be to create RSS feeds for forum threads and entry comments. I'd rather have emails going out, but our email server has a limited capacity of about 200/day. While I think sending out entry comments to BotBrs is doable, subscribing to threads with this method would result in a bottleneck.

I'd like RSS just as well as emails, actually - maybe better.

I'd prefer RSS a lot more than emails. I don't reallly send email anymore, but just the idea of my inbox being flooded with alerts... yuck! :x

though fresh comments are always on the front page, which promotes dropping by the site more often 0_x

If my RSS reader doesn't remind me to visit a site, I usually don't. If a site doesn't have RSS and wants to force me to check stuff at the site, it annoys me. Therefore, putting recent comments on the front of the site and not having an alternative (not even email) annoys me, which makes me less likely to visit, even if I do remember.

However, in this case, I love BotB but I forget about it.
