Not quite. Won't setting this option to YES subscribe me to
ALL forums that I create
and reply to, even if I didn't start it? This is an all-or-nothing approach.

They create? Not having interest in their own creations?
I disagree here, but your next point is very true.

Yes, true.

Yes, but an all-or-nothing approach is not great either. How about this? Let me revamp my original suggestion to this:
In one's profile, how about
separating that function into two? That is, 1) autosubscribe (or not, your choice) to topics you
create, and 2) autosubscribe (or not) to a topic you
participate (not create).
See? I'm flexible. ;)
