First, let me say this messageboard is lots of fun. It's cool to have good friends located over here and to be able to do all this cool picture stuff, etc. etc.
However, I do think there are some kinks and additions that should be addressed:
1) The "Humor" area is lame, out of place, and unnecessary. The Off-Topic (if it must be kept ) area is more than enough of a place to air out all the zany wackiness...and jokes are far more effective if they're in the context of an "anything goes" format.
2) In place of the Humor area, I propose a new, more useful area: The Gathering. This would be a forum of faciliation much like the Swap Shop area. Just think of it: anytime a messageboard member is headed on a trip, they could drop a note onto the board saying, "Hey, I'm headed to _____, anyone close to there and want to meet up? Know any good CD shops in the area?" It would also create the perfect place to plan, organize and coordinate official Gatherings of larger groups and keep everyone updated about future film music concerts around the world. This MUST be created!!
3) How do you guys get all those specialty smiley faces to appear? Do you have to insert them as an image?
4) What is supposed to be the difference between "General Discussion" and "Now Playing"? Aren't they essentially the same thing: a place to discuss film music we're currently listening to these days?
5) While we're at it, why have a "Site Feedback" AND a "Help"? Why not make it just one larger "Site Feedback and Troubleshooting" area?
That's all I have for now, but I think my ideas are shared by many....especially about a "Gathering" forum. How about it Jon and Pete? To review:
Eliminate "Humor", "Now Playing" and "Help"....they are redundant and unnecessary. Create "Gathering" forum.
That is all.
