Once #1304216: A user should be able to "follow" individual pages of content and receive email notifications for new comments is done, we should enable follow functionality for forum pages.

Potentially we'll need a data migration path for forums, similar to #1284704: Provide a data migration path for following issues via flag.module.

This is all set up on integration.devdrupal.org and working well in our testing so far. (integration has a different http password because it has near-production-level data, you can log into Drupal with your production password, but the site won’t get security updates as promptly as staging.)

This needs work:

1) There should be an option in the user profile to opt out of email notifications
2) If you unfollow a thread to stop emails, you no longer see the thread in your tracker

Implementing #1 would solve #2.

Agreed. A followup issue is best for this, I put my thoughts for implementation down at #2658224: Add a UI for controlling email notifications.
