I too am fond of topic descriptions. When I converted to FUDforum from openBB I actually had planned to add a topic description, but was too lazy to actually do it. I have a rather narrow layout on my forum (808px width) so I have to keep my topics short, since I still want the topic title to have rather decently large text. A topic description below in smaller text would solve my headaches for that.

It's not like its the end of the world, but I like topic descriptions, helps the actual topics to be, you know, topics.

For example, a topic on my forum:

Redfine middle button with Logitech Setpoint

With a topic description, the user would rather make it like this:

Logitech Setpoint
Redefine your mouse buttons!

Generally, it seems like topic descriptions leads the users into being better at properly naming the actual topics, which makes it easier to browse through. But well, as I said, it's not the end of the world that we don't have topic descriptions, but it's not something that would really slow the forum down either, you only have to grab it when you list threads, don't need to always grab it in like, last topic posted etc, not even when you show a thread, only needs to be shown in thread (or tree) thread listing.
