Topic says it all. My "{b}.term{/b}" looks like ass! Does the UBB software not allow for UBB code in subject lines?

No, it doesn't. There are a variety of reasons for this. Perhaps the biggest is mallinking.
Let's say you created a post with a title like "Help! PPP is hanging when I try to connect!" But you actually enclose this in a url tag which leads somewhere else; let's say horse.cx (address made up, but I think people here have a general idea of what troll site inspired this). This would fit perfectly into the UBB interface, so you have a link disguised as a perfectly innocent post, utterly indistinguishable from any other without looking at the source, but actually leads to another site. The perfect mallink. And I doubt I need to even mention the can of worms that would be opened if we allowed images into the titles.
Sorry; shame though it may be, there's a real need to disallow UBBCode in post titles. Why is it such a big deal to have it enabled anyway?

You are most certainly correct; I wouldn't want a bunch of shady URL re-directing topic headlines... however, is it not possible to enable some UBB code and not all of it? I think that just the text-decoration (italics and bold) should be allowed... or maybe I can just deal with it

Amusingly enough, horse.cx is not a sight about horses, nor sex, nor a redirect to ******.cx. =P Why don't you guys do the same thing that slashdot does? Just have bracket's after the link that gives a little more info on the link.

Why don't you guys enable HTML in subject headlines? We should be able to make the font 48 points in size so our threads get attention! We should be able to put <BLINK> in a header and not put any </BLINK>, so that the whole forum blinks! How dare you deny us this right!

Better yet, let's allow </body> tags and </html> tags. That would be sweet! 
Anyway, you can edit your [b].term[/b] post and change the topic title.
Why did you post this here anyway? It's not exactly OS X related even if it does complain about your OS X related thread.

I personally think it would look horrible to have italics and bolds in the links... anyway, shouldn't this be in the Suggestions & Comments forum?

This is kind of unrelated.. but it kind of peeves me when people have to say "{whatever}" or "<whatever>"
Just use this script whenever you don't want your UBB to execute, just copy whatever to the clipboard and run this. (save it as an app)
set tR to {}
repeat with j from 1 to length of items of (the clipboard)
if item j of (the clipboard) is "[" then
set tR to tR & "[[b][i][/b][/i]"
else
set tR to tR & item j of (the clipboard)
end if
end repeat
set the clipboard to tR as string
delay 0.42
beep 2
