Great news, I think. There was one thing about the Bump Register. We could scan down thru the list and find the most likely place to tag threads. Unless a group have a common keyword, think of the various spellings of Al Queda , Al QUIDA --- etc. we will miss articles in an area we are wanting to monitor closely.

I guess if we had a common communication device where people could propose keywords and an explanation of what articles they think the keyword would cover we might be able to avoid the 4000 keyword mess.

Thanks for the ping, it looks like you have pinged most of the crew. It looks like this thread will be worth monitoring over the next few days to see what ideas everybody has.

The new topic system will take care of this; the keywords are only a band-aid for the band-aid. Though at a later time, I'd love to implement keyword synonyms... that would translate a number of spellings into one keyword.

Thanks for the ping, for now I will use the bump list names but without "list" or underscores between words. Watch what keywords are getting lots of use and use them, also when a new hot topic comes up we can link all of the articles easily.
