Will one ever be able to write or select simple HTML (italics, hyperlink, bold, etc) in forum threads?

Many forum sites use buttons with the options and/or allow users to write in certain code.

Ever? Then yes. Not sure it is what you are asking but anytime you include 'ever' it is bound to happen.

I do not want to remove choice from others, but I personally like the "plainness." I think the minimized use of emphasis can be a good thing.

That said, more options are generally better.

Thanks for your question/feedback.
HTML is probably out of the question for a few reasons: security, usability, and site consistency of UI look/feel are some of them. However, we may be adding wiki/markdown style formatting in the future.
