First off, I'd like to say that the notifications bar is great. It lets people send out general announcement posts to everyone without having to go into each and every thread, and it's also awesome for us comedian hacks who like to pretend they're funny and post wisecracks for all to appreciate. But could we go further with that? A 'popular notification' box would be really cool, with the highly liked notifications (presumably because they made a rhyme along the lines of 'Advanced is for smarty pants') lingering there for a day or so before being swept away. 

It would just be another cool thing for people to look at as they scroll down the page to find whatever sub-forum they're trying to get to, and I can see it adding even more of a sense of community to the guild.

And I'm not just recommending this because I got six likes on this one notification and I'm hella proud of it and want more people to like it so I can achieve Guild apotheosis.
