Digg your post and boost traffic and feedback to it. Digg is one of the most popular networking sites in the internet.

Once a thread is created, you will see the "Digg" link just above the first post. If you Digg any one of your favorite posts it will beef up the views to it immensely. For example I submitted the Hillary Clinton thread (77 pages worth of posts) to Digg and watched the guest traffice go up to it in the who's online page to that thread. Submitting your favorite threads to the outside world will get them a lot more attention.

How it works:

Discover
Submit your favorites. Find an article, video, or podcast online and submit it to Digg.com. Your submission will immediately appear in “Upcoming Stories,” where other members can find it and, if they like it, Digg it.

Become popular. Once a submission has earned a critical mass of Diggs, it becomes “popular” and jumps to the homepage in its category. If it becomes one of the most popular, it qualifies as a “Top 10”. If a submission doesn't receive enough Diggs within a certain time period, it eventually falls out of the “Upcoming” section.

Discover media on Digg. Visit the “Upcoming” section to discover recently added news, videos, and podcasts. Track submissions as they come in with Swarm, Stack, Big Spy or Arc, our real-time Flash visualization tools in Digg Labs. Or use Spy to watch the titles and descriptions as they roll down the page.

Of course, you can always check the topic homepages to see what's newly popular. And you can subscribe to RSS feeds of particular topics, popular/upcoming sections, individual users, and the search terms of your choice.

Digg. Participate in the collaborative editorial process by Digging the stuff that you like best. As you Digg, you contribute to the popularity of any given item. You also build a history of Digging that you or your friends can view.

Bury. If you find stories with bad links, off-topic content, or duplicate entries, click “Bury.” That’s how we get the spam out of the system and let the good stuff rise to the top.
The system only works when users actively participate on a large scale, so make sure to do your part and Digg and Bury content that matters to you!
Share

Build a network. Invite your friends or find them on Digg and add them to your friends list. Then your friends can track what you’re Digging and you can see what they Digg as well, enabling you to collectively find news together.
Email. Send your friends (Diggers or non-Diggers) the stories that you Digg.

Comment. Share your opinions by commenting on stories, videos, and podcasts as well as Digging and Burying comments by other users.

I was just looking at that tool bar last night. Now I see what it's for. I had no idea one could submit threads at a message board to outside sites. That is way cool. Seems like an excellent way to get more input.

I can see you are anti anything but post/reply, fine but what's the point of following my posts around just to diss the system?
