Here's a stupid question. Is there a way to have a column that shows when the thread
 

first was submitted as well as the last post? Reason I as is I click on threads from 5 years ago that say "I need content immediately" that some asswipe refreshed to page 1. Just asking, no flamers please. :)

I don't think there is, but if you're reading a thread that seems suspicious just double check the date of the first post...

gfy is kept as simple as possible to ensure it loads OK. If traffic increases, a couple features are disabled to keep it stable .. and so on.
