I don't know what the exact numbers are, but it's something along the lines of this: If a new thread gets X amount of replies, then it goes onto the list. About once a week (or perhaps whenever X amount of threads are gathered) it sends out an email. The email includes the thread title, the first few lines of the first post, and a link to the thread. It use to also include a picture (if one was attached to the first post) but doesn't seem to anymore.
This sort of thing is great. Not everyone visits the forum daily, and so they might miss a new thread that they would have been interested in. This is a great tool to help keep forum traffic/participation up.
Can this sort of thing be added to Racketboy?
Do you have any forum examples where this is implemented? I think the biggest thing is if a plugin like that is for phpbb.

Is that something that would be done in the thread itself (no software upgrade needed?)
