Right on, great information here. I think a daily quote, or little column of advice would be great as well!
@willgerard
no problem.
there's a concept chart here
www.importanceofphilosophy.com/Chart.html
this is the sort of thing I imagine.Some people produced a chart like this in various stages of completion.
It would be a very handy guide.
I think a daily quote or brief lesson would be nice to have in a widget form. I'd love to expose my peers to simple little bits of Austrian ideas on my personal website/blog.
Instituting tree threading in the Community forums would enable people to ignore branches within any thread that get into tangents they're not interested in. With the current system readers have to consciously scroll past certain posters they've learned are not worth reading in order to achieve the same result, but many people can't resist replying, so a few rotten comments spoil the whole thread and make it virtually unnavigable.
People soon realize there is little value in spending the time to throw a carefully reasoned view into the mix, because it will probably get lost in the shuffle. However, threading systems like on Usenet newsgroups (before Google took them over), and like on reddit.com solved this problem long ago.
The forums desperately need tree threading.

Could you point me to that? I'm not sure what you mean.
Thanks.
