Funny you should post about this today, because I was thinking about it too yesterday. I think it's a great idea. It would be nice to be notified of a post where someone mentioned your name, just like on FB (facebook, not first blood). It would be helpful for cups, tournaments and playoffs, where players try to agree on times. Bonhert wrote a post directed to me in a T17-cup, but I never found out because I was abroad, and the topic had dropped from the frontpage once I checked the forums again.
