This has probably been brought up before, but a voting system needs to be instated for the forums.
If anyone is not aware, Reddit and similar sites work by having a voting system for each thread and each post. If a thread gets a lot up "upvotes" in a certain time (not sure of the exact algorithm) it appears on the front page. This user created filter brings the good material to the top and lets the countless terrible posts fade into obscurity without even showing up.
There would be an option to see all threads by post date, in this way the hard core NS users control the content that makes it to the front page by being the first to see a post and "upvote" it.
I bring this up because I am spending less and less time on NS because the forums are a mess and finding interesting content is difficult. I think this system also gives the users of the site a lot more control and encourages participation.
Is there any reason anyone wouldn't support this change to the forums?
