Hey, just an idea to throw on the heap of requests.
One of the problems I've seen in PbP is the way some posts hearken back to posts several back, because the player only just got online after several exchanges by others. I've occasionally felt like I'd like to add to a conversation happening between some characters, but felt posting it would derail the main thread (which had moved on), and so declined. I know I could use a PM to do this, but since this is in-game stuff, it doesn't feel right, and the PMs aren't attached to the game thread.
Better would be if posts could have threaded replies, so we could advance down that branch to resolve character issues and the main thread could continue. I know this would mostly be helpful for role-playing, but I love that part of D&D, and feel like the single-threading hampers role-playing a bit.
I also think this would be a crucial feature of any advanced campaign manager that includes PbP-like features, since you're in the midst of brainstorming that right now.
Anyway, please consider it. I don't know how hard it would be to implement, so I don't quite know how much I'm asking for, but shoot for the moon, right?
Thanks, Mingo.

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.

Campaign links for Game Log access because DDB has abandoned the forum dice roller, apparently.
