Bob... the "keep" feature is excellent, thanks for pointing that one out ... I still would like the "moderated" feature that's available on SI for the "club" boards like the Strictly Drilling thread - being able to discriminate is what a club is all about, no?
As for getting a larger membership - you need the superstar posters like Zeev, SliderOnTheBlack and Heinz Blasnik - you might bend the rules a little to get them on board.
...and you are correct about a specific forum for suggestions and new features to make IHub a better place - a "What About Bob" forum?
Regards,
Frank P.
