I've added an experimental system to TnTU in the "Other Crap" category, Synergy

This is a digg like system that allows you the create and rate threads from other forums.

If you like to surf, then Synergy is probably something you'll enjoy.

Here is some boilerplate information and instructions for submitting your own threads to the synergy "queue" from the people at zoints.com

-------------------
We've decided to try a new forum modification called Synergy. The idea is to submit good threads to the system so that people on other communities like ours can read them. Once a thread is mirrored to other forums, then people across the internet vote on which they feel are best. The best threads get to the front page which causes them to be read by even more people. If you author a lot of good threads, you might become well known across forums as a "Top Author".

If you read a thread you like on Synergy, simply click on the vote link next to it. Vote totals are tallied across all forums and updated about once a minute. Keep in mind that threads aren't always ordered by votes because the Synergy algorithm takes a lot of factors into account when ranking a thread. But votes are very important, so vote!

There are a variety of thread categories that cover pretty much everything you might be interested in.

If there are categories you're NOT interested in, simply select the options link as shown below.

After selecting the options link, you'll be taken to the screen shown below. Unchecking boxes next to categories you're not interested in will stop them from showing. If you aren't interested in threads from other forums, you can hide them with a single click.

If you author a thread that gets to the front page of Synergy, then you get one point. The top authors of threads from around the internet are listed as seen below. Create great threads and become well known!

By default, Synergy shows you the most popular threads. At the top, you can change the sorting options so that you see the newest submitted threads to the system.

If you find a thread on our forum you think would be good to add to Synergy, simple click on the

in the first post in the thread. That will take you to a submission screen where you write a short description. Once you submit that, it will go into a moderation queue for us to approve (or deny). Your help finding the best threads to submit is appreciated! Let's show the rest of the internet how good our community is.

Enjoy!

---------------

I've enabled dAvedmins and MMModerators the ability to submit chosen threads to synergy, but any member can suggest one.

Any questions or comments, let me know, and I'll give you a blank stare.

There is a "category" for tntu.net on the synergy page, it lists the threads that are int the synergy system. You can vote on the tntu threads here if you like them, but of course, votes for those links are worth more if you're a member of another forum...
