2 feature suggestions:

-Most forums have a feature where you can mouse over a topic to see a preview of the first post. This helps when folks post vague thread titles like, "Check this out!" or "Why did this happen?" or "Best thing ever!", etc.

-Having a location option for members, which would show up in each thread is helpful, especially when they are talking about regional/local stuff. Folks could leave it blank or be non-specific (Southern Cal) or specific (Anaheim, CA) or obtuse (caught in a time/space continuum).

Yes, I've never seen the mouse-over done as poorly as on RWOL, but hey, that's Pluck for ya.
