Browse the forum a little Devilage... And then look around in version history.
Plus the people were telling their opinions about what you said, bringing on points of arguments. I don't want to liken TUS forum unto other, already dead forums, but as far as I remember there were no other forums where you could post your idea without getting senseless posts or spams as a reply OR any site where the owner actually did what the community asked for.
Although, this does not mean that every single idea will be created for a sharp deadline on TUS site.
And well, you can still bring on your points of arguments, put on a poll, ask people around to come and vote with yes for the idea so we see that it is popular amongst other people!
PS: this is not against you again.
