That would open all links into a new window, not just the links that are in a post.
I don't think that I have ever seen any forum software that doesn't open up links in posts in a new window/tab.
I don't see how target="_blank" would be bad practice, it's VERY widely used and it works great to keep a user on your site.
What is bad practice are javascript links to open up new windows, because those you cannot control on a user basis - IE, I often click links with my middle mouse to open them in a new tab (to be certain they open in a new tab, since i dont wanna navigate away from the current page) - but if its a javascript link, the opened page will not work, since the browsers cannot interpret it.
Mjeh, we often agree on much, but this one I have to say that me, and actually every single other forum software agrees, against you :po
