While this is a good feature for sites like Slashdot, I think it is a horrible feature for open-discussion discussion boards. But I'm sure it can be turned off. Also, a fully Ajax discussion board would be horrible for stand-alone discussion board sites that try to cover server and infrastructure expenses through advertising networks. The networks already pay pennies on he dollar for BB impressions and this would drastically cut down on the number of impressions available for sale.
But there are some cool ideas in there, too. Especially if those aren't concerns.
