Well, I just had this idea right now, and I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if they could put the threadmaker's username right next to the thread name? I mean, I know it's not a big deal, but it would make me feel more special when I make a good thread. +<

Well I don't think the creator matters more than the idea itself, it's a bit egotistical for the author to want credit so much... and people would start avoiding certain posts because of the author which is wrong, cause some people I am not so fond of have made very good suggestions and I would've just passed by! :/

It was just an idea I thought of in the shower.


Sometimes it's a good idea to sing in the shower so you don't think of something crazy.

Like Klaushouse wrote -- people would start being selective, other forums normally have: "Thread started by" column, but it's best to explore the thread itself. I mean, you're already getting credit when the person sees the first post and realize: "hey, this guy/gal started the thread. But God... the idea reeked/rocked, etc"

Yes, but sometimes it's a good idea to sing about thinking in the shower so you don't think of singing crazy.

Yes, but sometimes it's good to eventually take a shower so you'll stop jumping back and forth from my thread to that one about jobs! (inside joke)

Oh, well. Back to the shower!


You ran out of towels. Time to go to the mall.

btw, I guess this ain't a very good idea.

Dang, man, no wonder you have so much AP, I can barely keep up with you!

Anyway, this topic has pretty much died in 20 minutes. Oh, well. Back to the shower!

I like the idea of just giving credit to me under each thread... :/

I like this idea, even though it's very small. This would draw people to the threads Moderators make.

What Klaushouse said. If an Ex-Spammer posted an idea that revolutionized AG, and no one read it because they hated the thread-maker, it would pretty much suck. Anyway, I always look at the person who created the thread when I click on one. Also, having another column on the Forums would make it a bit displeasing to the eye. I wouldn't want to see so many words, especially if the creator has a long username. So, I'm not with this idea.
