That leaves me with Twitter. They're pretty flexible with automated posts so it shouldn't be a problem. Plus I feel like more people on here would rather have stuff shared to Twitter over Facebook if they chose to enable the sharing at all. I wanted to ask this publicly because it might be weird only having one option for sharing posts. Again, the gist of the plugin would be linking your Twitter account to NGU via OAuth (e.g. it won't require you entering your Twitter info and we won't have to store it) and then you'll have some options regarding what kind of stuff will get automatically shared to your Twitter account (like the aforementioned ones for new threads, thanking and maybe even posts). You'd be able to unlink your Twitter or just disable any of those options at any time. The goal is to just hopefully expand and promote content on here outside of the site itself.
The following 3 users say thank you to Tustin for this useful post:

Pretty stupid that I can't even test it first but either way, I doubt they would allow it.

Your Twitter isn't accessible from NGU, only thing NGU has the power to do is tweet from your account since your password isn't stored. Worse case scenario, you can just block the site from posting tweets and cut off the integration from Twitter itself.

or when the site is breached, they get a big fat list of peoples twitters and whatever is integrated.and since most people suck with passwords it makes them invuln to having other accs stolen if they used the same password
