BL has a cool feature for the discussion forum. It has a calender

If I'm out of town for a weekend, it makes it very easy to pick up where
I left off.

What Lugnet should *really* do is keep track of read and unread posts,
like a proper newsreader. Even better than a calendar. But that's a major
change that's going to take a while to get implemented.

Not that there's anything wrong with the calendar idea -- basically an
extension of <http://news.lugnet.com/news/traffic/>.

We've got something kind of like that over at BZPower too... one of the features
that the members really seem to like is "Today's Hot Topics" on the front page.
It links to the most posted-in threads of the last 24 hours, updated hourly.

Having a hot topics module would be a great addition.

Also, the LUGNET Traffic page (link at the top right corner) shows you which
groups are hot, but not which topics are hot. The Top Stories is determined
using the (member) Spotlight feature (I believe it takes in other factors, like
whether or not it was posted to .announce, and how recent it was).
