Quite a lot on Fans, there's opposition (from the community as a whole) to ideas not because the idea is bad, not because people have a valid reason to disagree with it, but simply because people "don't want to" or "can't be bothered". If that's people's opinion, then they are perfectly entitled to it: but it saddens me that we shoot down so many ideas because of indifference or resistance to change, despite the fact that they aren't going to be of any detriment to us.
This idea won't inconvenience anyone. It doesn't hurt anyone, or adversely impact anyone. However, there's a chance it will make things more convenient / better for people.
If that's the case - if there is no good reason not to do it - then we should do it.
If there's a genuine reason not to do it - "it will overtax the server", "it will take ten hours and the ritual sacrifice of a woodland creature to set up," etc - then fair enough. But if that isn't the case? We're a community. We're friends. Shouldn't making life easier for each other be something that we proactively want to do?
