1. Maybe get a new, crisper skin for the forum. The one we have is very generic of all phpBB forums, and we can do much better. At the very least, we can implement a skin chooser that allows some variation in that scheme of things.
2. A Particracy logo. As it stands, all we have as a forum logo is that phpBB thing which isn't exactly the most attractive thing out there, and certainly has nothing to do with Particracy. Perhaps setting up a contest of sorts for a logo would work nicely in choosing something to represent our community. If the national flags are anything to go by, there are enough people here that know how to use photoshop to get a decent image rolled out (JPGs will be automatically disqualified
)3. Perhaps a bit of forum rearrangement/addition. Nothing major by way of deleting threads or anything, but we can definitely use some small tweaks, like a wiki link, a game link, a rework of the moderation forum system to streamline the process (I think there might be an application widget or something that might be useful and much more instant in that case).
4. Some small profile tweaks might help with making things easier to use. Perhaps a profile field for adding in your party name/nation (with possible linkability), a field for things like Steam account and such, maybe a recognition system based on players' time at PT; there are certainly a few possibilities to look into.
5. Other ideas that we might come up with.
I do have experience with these boards and the settings that they have, so I could potentially play around with these settings and make things happen, but I'm doubtful that moderation would let me poke around there :s Much of it is entirely reversible, so I couldn't cause damage even if I wanted to, which is besides the point.
