After a quick browsing of LJ's link, I think that the same thread type linking could be cool, as can be thread tagging for my own future reference and the user albums. How much more server space (thus $$, right?) would this take though? One of the things I really like here now is the relative simplicity, no avatars etc. I'd like to keep the flow of the text relatively unhindered with a bunch of stupid pictures. Unless it's an image thread where of course, that's the point.
