Drew, here's what I mean. When you enter a link into Facebook, it creates a little link box taking the page title, a snippet of text, and usually giving you a choice of a couple of graphics to use as thumbnails. Thus, if you put in this page we're on, you see the following. (I didn't post that, it makes the link box already in the draft mode.) Below that example, you can see another one that's better. (True, that one is an FB link, but most of the time it works as well with anything else.)

Anyway, the reform I thought I'd institute is to require all posts to go through a subforum. GD would be replaced by an automatic version of "Latest" that extended all the way to the beginning as default.
But maybe that wouldn't help that much to organize material here. So maybe what's needed is TAGS and better search. Also, the ability to pick tags out of a tag-cloud, like with WordPress.
Also, tags should be applicable to posts, too. So many threads where brilliant posts suddenly appear, often unrelated to the rest of the thread.
