Push Notifications

[MangaD]

I strongly advocate against this "real time notification" thingummy simply because it enforces the "quantity over quality"-mantra.

Ok, I will have to reject this argument for 2 reasons.

1. The forum already allows you to get instantly notified by e-mail if someone replies or adds a thread in a thread / forum that we subscribe to. So, adding the push notifications feature (which I believe is optional for the user) is merely going to make subscriptions more convenient for those willing to use it.

2. Right now, considering the low activity, I don't think that low-quality posts are that undesirable. Better low-quality posts than no-posts, believe me.

The fact that it's taking forever to install does not really play a role in general but I don't wish to waste my time on something which may be marginally useful for 2 people.

This is a more understandable argument. If you feel that it is too much work to install then leave it. I must disagree with "useful for 2 people", I think many people would like to have this feature.

Very fair enough, will mention that the time you used rationalizing why you had better not do it appears to me pretty similar to the time it would have taken to do it.

Whether a feature is necessary or not is an important matter as well. The less plugins the forum needs the better. Why? Because the more plugins the more security vulnerabilities the website is prone to. Besides being unnecessary clutter. So, if there is a plugin out there that turns the forum into pink color, I'd rather waste 30 minutes to explain why I don't want such a plugin than take 1 second installing it.
