Reddit would be a little cooler if it we could customize our comment bubbles
I love a good forum, but the thread format is outdated.
The thing I really enjoyed about forums was seeing peoples personalized bubbles with quotes in funny fonts, profile pictures you can actually see that have cool art, a rank, links to their myspace or livejournal, when they joined and their post count (both of which you can see but you have to hover your cursor).
I think on some you could even change the colour of the background? It was a homelier, more open web. Kind of like the difference between a local mom and pop store and a big box copy and paste...
hm...
