^ this post should have been inserted into the OP so that users will be updated with what is going on under the thread. kinda like a note: update... under the first post.

everyone is trying to achieve the quota. if this is something that could be added to the rules in the forum, a lot of users will be purged because even when the reply of the OP is not seen. maybe Theymos can make the OP replies under the thread be colored to be noticed so that people scrolling down will see some updates of what OP did after. or probably just turn this (OP) to pink?
