All for nothing. Don’t you just hate it? Wish the Temp had this!

Don’t those of us who really contribute to the Temp and not just yell at HB devs hate it when you spend a long time on a very informational post, all just to see one guy reply to it and add another page to the thread, leaving the post you just spent 10 minutes researching/writing to to waste, lost among the forgotten pages of the thread, which will also soon be forgotten as well? Yeah, I just needed to get that out. I wish the Temp had a feature which would - feature - verified, informational, contributing posts on the first or last page, where people could see them. Those posts could be chosen by the OP and/or mods. I don’t know, what do you guys think of such a feature?

I think they tried something like this once. Wonder what happened to it.
 
This feature was a thing for a little while, called "featured post".
Sadly, the implementation was buggy, and slowing down GBAtemp as a whole.

No ETA if it would make a come back, and I really wish it will.
 
Fix:

Reprogram human beings to read more than just the first and last pages of threads
 
@Taffy If only gaining kernel access of the human mind were as easy as the Wii U. :rofl2:
 
"just spent 10 minutes researching/writing"

a) I tend to find quality wins out.
b) 10 minutes is a time worth noting for this? I might take more than 10 minutes to choose a cheesy song to end these with.

Blogs so song
 
I wish people didn't always come here just for homebrew hax and help with piracy. This is a forum, there is more to explore here, more engaging conversations about the games we play or anything else like real life personal things too. People only care about reading stuff that help them with their homebrew or piracy, hardly anything else matters here.
  • homebrew threads = 200 pages
  • Hacks, exploit pages = 400 pages
  • everything else less than 20 pages
Even reviews can't get more than 100 post. I thought people were members here cause they like video games and wanted to discuss their favorites or non favorites with others who share same passion. I'm not saying there isn't anything bad about hacking stuff but those threads get way more attention.
