The new Forums feature is great but lacking.

Hi there! First attempt at this so be gentle ^^. Wanted to give some feedback after going a bit of looking around to give some feedback. Currently, new feature is really cool and great but it's lacking in some areas!

Issues:
- Currently, they operate like threads and timeout, this is unideal if you want more curated experiences and there is tooling lacking to enable it! Say I want more granular interest over certain channels compared to others, this is a bit hard to do right now.
- Let us react to messages! Only having 1 reaction per forum post is super lame and doesn't really give us that ol-forum feel that can be a really big benefit.

- Psuedo-wikis, these are really cool uses for them but the problem is the search options don't really allow you to crawl through the messages at all! It'd be cool if we had options or ways to search forums outside of just the post title.

- Forums are a good use for Bulletin Boards of information! But the problem is that easy access to the channel is a bit more extra clicks and steps outside of just having a post on a channel with proper formating. It'd be cool if there is some thought to reduce the click time to look at forum posts!

Thanks to those who read this and hopefully this is helpful in some way!

This is a really great post, but, the emote thing is possible, but limited to, what I believe, is the newest one.

I'm the type to spend most of my time inside of a thread, as opposed to looking at the list of threads, so my input is weak, but I have two images showing what happens when there's more than one on a root message.
