Default Meta: How do you keep track of all those threads?

I've been pretty active on here for the last week or so, but I've had to trim down my Subscribed list twice so far! Is there a way I can get a little more organized without simply lurking more and posting less?

Was that 200 hours spent learning a skill? Was it? I didn't think so.

That was the last of 199 hours and 59 minutes on the forum, I think!

The 200 hours "rule" is only for earning points by study; earned points can be spent without waiting 200 hours!

I just never unsubscribe from threads. That way, I can always see if something new comes up in a thread I participated in/watched. Don't see why unsubscribe unless the thread derails into something I find totally uninteresting.

Use UCP. It provides a trimmed list, only with new posts, anyway.

I just have Eidetic Memory and if I see a new thread on a topic I'm familiar with I can usually just search the old thread's title and link it in the new discussion.

What is this "subscribe" you speak of? I just log onto the forum and scan down the thread titles.

I think the OP is subscribing by posting to a thread, which happens automatically.

@Tallor: If you don't use the List Subscriptions on your User Settings, then do what Vicky recommends and just ignore them.
