I've been workin' on the forums all the livelong day

I've been working on the forums a lot today, if you like a suggestion and want it to get added, be sure to woot it.

Here's a collection of all the suggestions from the first two pages.

Forum coin system - Earn coins by posting, spend it on meaningless garbage like pre-selected titles or colored usernames or something. You guys can suggest more ideas for crap if it gets added.
Forum polling system - Add polls to your posts.
Name highlighting - Highlight your name wherever it appears in other people's posts.
Reputation system - Basically woots but on your profile and with negative rep and comments you can add to them.
Forum Games split - Split off the crappy forum games from the decent forum games somehow. Either by physically splitting the forums or adding tags of some kind.
Favoriting posts - Add the ability to save your favorite posts for later.
Browse all pages - Add a way to browse instantly to any page of a forum/topic without mucking around with the URL of the page.
Update profile info - The messaging options in Profiles are super out of date. Add some more popular options, and possibly allow users to add any service they like.
Woot counter - Add a woot counter to the miniprofile.
Auto-subscribe to your own topics - Exactly what it says on the tin.
Forum Achievements - Unlock custom titles for completing specific tasks on the forums.

I'm ok with making the "Browse all pages" thing
All the other stuff requires handling the server-side script, so these ones are for Diff

Name highlighting - Highlight your name wherever it appears in other people's posts.

Some one listening to me :o

Also, all spam is situated in forum games
If you split it, all spam will be everywhere

I mean I'm not sure I would call it listening since all I did was list every suggestion I could find but okay.

That's not what the suggestion is. The suggestion is to somehow separate the good forum games from the spammy ones, whether that's by splitting Forum Games into a Spam Forum Games and a Good Forum Games, or some tagging mechanism. It's not like he suggested we take all the crap games and spray them all over the other forums.

Auto-Subscribe to own topics - I don't want my inbox spammed nor having to unsubscribe to every topic I make

It'd be optional, the same way subscribing is now, but with an extra option to be able to auto subscribe to your own topics instead of every topic you post.

Added Creature's topic to the first post.
