Easy. The forum has notification functions that can be sent to all
members or to a selected group - and it asks if you're sure you want to
do that. But the "power" is limited to administrators and moderators. A
real "call to all" should not be necessary for ordinary members. If your
topic is ignored, you simply "bump" it back to the top of the pile.

I painfully remember when someone hit "reply to all" to a message from
our business division leader at work- Reply to all went to about 50 000
people. now take the 0.5% of those into account that reflexwise replied
to that reply with "please take me from the mailing list". Of course,
replying to all. Then came a few hundred people writing "stop replying
to all" which they again sent to all... it took about 36 hours until the
email servers were back up running somewhat stable....
