Fan input.

As promised, here is the page with only fan-input ! All of these ideas are from fans, thanks to everyone who posted on the discussion topic. Around 40 people gave suggestions, and here they are. There are 75 in total, but I didn't number them, and there are more than likely duplicates.

I did NOT make changes, these are posted as-is.
