Wouldn't this be hard to keep track of? To have to go to another thread to quote something or reference things is a bit inconvenient, isn't it? Also, why not have the OP be able to change the thread title for an infinite amount of time specifically for this forum? Or is it 72 hours after each change, then the change gets locked? Because if it's 72 hours after the thread creation that doesn't make all that much sense...

Because contrary to popular belief not every inch of vBulletin is extensible, nor can be configured by every single possible combination of user group and/or forum. A lot of it just what it is, period, for everyone.

You're not expected to need to change the name of your thread constantly. It's a buyers-remorse feature for people who realize they mistyped their title, or did something similarly stupid to it, so they can quickly go in and fix it.

Making separate threads for separate days shouldn't happen, just because the forum would eventually become flooded. I believe one sign-up thread, one gameplay thread and one discussion thread is enough for one mafia game.
If needed, put a link on the first page of a mafia game linking to the latest day/night post.

Threads in this forum are displayed by thread start date, not last bump, so creating multiple threads per day would just push the obsolete stuff off the page.

I'm not saying that a person should just make a thread and just spam countless images like /w/ or anything like that, but upon request. Or how about this.. What if a user wanted to get a bunch of wallpapers or pictures related to a certain character, anime, or game? Surely, there are some walls out there that some people hasn't seen. What about ones on Japanese websites that some people cannot access because they simply don't have a deep knowledge of Japanese?

Basically, a non-tl;dr version:

That aside, liking the mafia usage in this forum so far, curious to see how else it will be utilized.[/COLOR]
