+1 to this suggestion. The current hot topic system is just not worth checking...its all trolling/flaming. I already even leave that window collapsed.

However, before they take care of it they need to take care of general discussion forum first. Its a nonsense you having devs only care about stuff posted in a forum that is supposed to be the off-topic one while all the real feedback forums are left behind. They first need to spread the threads around, havving them moved to the correct forum so we also will have more directed feedback since most trolls often just go to general discussion talk trash.
