We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

How about when a new thread is created, something is automatically posted in Bureaucracy?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Would a simpler solution be to announce it in Press? And assume everyone reads Press? When I am on a time constraint, I always still read Press, Beep Me and Bureacracy.

That would be nifty, but I think it's simple enough for whoever creates the thread to write a quick post in Press.

I do want a subscribe button in every thread, because it seems kind of awkward to notice there's a new thread and have to go into my profile to subscribe to it, rather than in the thread itself.

But a subscribe button in the thread wouldn't help you notice that it's there - you'd already have to have found it.

New threads don't come up all that often - some of the options mentioned above seem like overkill. I'd vote for a simple announcement in Press. For continuation threads, could we put a link to the new thread in the closing post? Or even a subscribe button for the new one? I think you'd hit those who want to know without bothering everyone else.

Done for Natter 3 --> 4.

I don't want to be Superman. I want to stay little and be next to Mommy.

I don't know how I got subscribed to Natter 4. I was worrying about remembering to subscribe, and then it just popped up. I wonder what happened?

Independent of the new threads issue, I would like a Subscribe button in the thread. Going to the profile and hunting through a big list of threads for the right checkbox is awkward.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't want a subscribe button in the thread. But I can't articulate why, so carry on. Bureaucracy announcements seem fine.
