"Post Topic Later"

I was walking home from school today and I was just thinking about this. Let's say for example that I wanted to post a topic about a coaster show that will be airing on a certain night, and I wanted to post it the day before. However, maybe I was going on vacation a week before, and had no access to the internet. I wouldn't want to post the topic a week before.

So basically what I am saying is if you could make it so we could write a topic at one time, and then post it some time in the future. I'm thinking it would work a little something like this:

Next to the "Post Topic" button, there would be a button that says "Post Topic Later". When someone clicks that button, it leads them to a page with a calendar (similar to the meeting calendar), and the member selects a month, then day, hour, then minute (no need for seconds). Then at the bottom of the page there would be a button that says, "Post Topic at selected time."

It would then lead to a confirmation page, showing the month/day/hour/minute. Then of course, an "Edit Time" button and a "Post Topic at selected time" button. I guess I really didn't need to go into that much detail in it.

I think this would be a helpful tool. :)

I'm trying to have an open mind, but what's the point of a real-time forum where the posts aren't real time? That's why we've moved beyond Usenet!

I like the idea. However, this just seems like it would lead to massive spam attacks.

What if you make you post about the show ans set it to post next Friday at 9pm, then someone else does the same and sets it to post on Friday at 8pm, then someone logs on Friday at 7pm and mentions the shows. Now you have multiple posts popping up repeatedly on the same subject. Imagine the seizures some of Coasterbuzz's "self moderators" would be having. Well the fits would be funny, but the multiple posts would get old fast.
