Apparently vBulletin has a feature to list threads that are similar to the one being viewed. Don't know if this a new feature or not, but any chance of seeing it on CTH?

It has been enabled before. It just take up processing time.

Yea its a nice idea and I tried it on here. The processing overheads for the little gain (because most people didn't know they were there) are what led me to turn them off.

I remembered them. It seems to me they were not that accurate.

I remember seeing them, but like renegade said, they weren't always accurate.

I don't remember them. Either I just didn't notice or just wasn't around at the time they were used. How inaccurate were they? Occasionally off like Google AdWords, or terribly wrong like Vibrant Media ad links?

I'm not sure if I was a member yet or not when they were around. I looked around the forums before I joined, but I think I was a member when they were turned on. They were just occasionally inaccurate. I remember sometimes I would be looking at a tech-related topic and get a few jokes on the related links.
dudeking: I don't think you were here yet.
