Idea for ring bell button

I know I am knew and I know it always bit of a taste when someone new come and think is smarter than everyone before. But how sounds this:

We have option for a ringing bell button in a thread? For to call in expert on special topic? It is like it on another forum I use.

Idea is, all member can vote for specialists and have one button in a thread. The button knows what under forum it is in and who it tells. Someone press that button and specialist member get notification. Specialist can now come to thread and can explain. Is not like specialist has all last word but is better than me trying explain astrophysics when I not know astrophysics good, to someone who not know astrophysics at all. For example.

We do this in our forum with model type and technology differences. Like sucking pipe vapor engine, carburetor, injector, turbo, boxer type engine.

I know this website is bit of broken place but when it get better again, is it idea many think is good or bad?

there will be no new features added to the site. the site is dying and they can't even fix the old problems.

Even if the owner showed up and gave someone the keys to change the kingdom, I would probably bet some A.I. chatbot might be better suited for your request. Until then maybe try something like asking chat gtp to explain it and post about it could be interesting.

When I read in discord past I see there is some problem with owner and hackers. Why I not visit this site for a longer time before I maked defence with hyper v computers inside my computer with VPN.

I did not know it was that bad.

Not so bad, this place has been intentionally crippled and allowed to limp along in it’s maimed state.

Somebodies forgotten folly, hidden away in the backyard of the internet.

Is it why in the forum oversight on the right there is no entry under ATS staff? But all other like Mod and Member have entrie?

I see before but my idea: ATS staff is secret and it is add for the style of the site, a pun, a conspiracy, hidden. A joke. Like this forum you click on and it not there.

Or the funny about ATS, refresh and you get funny pictures of people with gas masks. I keep find such funny thing in the website.

There is no way for any of us on ATS to make any changes to the database.
No fixes, no improvements, no run-of-the-mill anything.
No active owners, no new members, no resets.

So sorry
