It’d be nice if I were wrong but as of the last time I complained about it the only person who received notice of a “Reply as new topic” topic was the poster who created the post that was replied to. So if somebody decided to fork “Count to ten thousand” by replying as a new topic to @anon67050589’s last post then only she would get a notification. I, as the topic creator, would not get any notification and anyone watching the original game would not get any notification.
Would it be possible to give Regulars the ability to re-open non-boing topics that have been auto-locked?
