I predict...
FR threads will be streamlined into one big Chat forum. Who needs Bleaking News?
To assure blissful tone and tenor, a “Thumbs Up” upvote icon will be enabled. You’ll “like” each post and you’ll like doing so. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
The “Loose lips sink ships” reminder will be updated to include a Docusign copy, printed in triplicate.
Administration Cabinet members will be required to have a QR Code directly from Trump, to post here.
Ping list will be prohibited. Search still works. When ping lists are outlawed; only outlaws will have ping lists.
Will I need to get a notary ;)

We really need to be able to post a topic by entering the URL, with the excerpting limit clearly shown, but manual editing available (to avoid auto-excerpting silliness like “RELATED: a story that isn’t actually related” and the like). The FR software would be able to screen out A) topic duplicates and B) impermissible sources.
Generally there are META tags that have keywords that could be read in, and the TOPICS and KEYWORDS here could be replaced with a single “TAGS”. Still have the option for additional TAGS later for the pingmeisters around here (hi all!).
The existing subforum structure is goofy — TOPICS are from a limited list and never the twain shall meet (Astronomy for example exists in Chat and Bloggers, but separately); merging the legacy TOPICS and KEYWORDS into the TAGS systems would make things a breeze.
IOW, I agree, get rid of the public subforum divisions (there’s at least one subforum for the mods only, I’m guessing).
Currently the addition of a TOPIC or a KEYWORD saves the topics by number, but chronologically to the time it was added to the list, not chronologically to the time the topic was posted. That actually works out just fine IMHO.
I predict that:
The annoying Grammar Police will be banned forever!
Humblegunner will return under an assumed name.
Video and sound will be added.
A word counter will be added.
A list of verboten sources will be added.
A link to the forum will be added from the initial page of a Posted article.........................
I like your predictions. I hope the thumbs-up comes to pass.
