ROFL the watch topic currently sends out an email update every time a reply is made to the topic you're watching. it goes to the email account you have listed on your profile. you can set the default option to subscribe to ALL topics you've started or replied to at some point (it's called 'Always notify me of replies'). I do this and get tons of email notices from FTR as a result, but it's the best (and only) way to keep track of topics that I'm involved or interested in. The volume of email is less than desirable but a handy way to keep me engaged in regular conversation/updates.
Since I end up getting an email for every reply in effect, I tend not to watch as many topics as I'd like to. It would probably ruin my inbox. I think it would actually be awesome if one of the main forum areas could be configured in such a way that it presented to a user as ALL topics they've selected to watch, and that this would change dynamically according to each individual user. It would end up being a 'my FTR topics' forum of some sorts that way, as each individual user would set their own watched topics prefs.
