Just a couple of suggestions.

How about requiring a new member to make 100 posts before they can post an article?

How about just showing the sign up date next to everyone's name in their reply? (For those too lazy to hover or click.)

How about requiring everyone to have to sign on once a quarter? IOW once every three months you have to log on. If your account remains dormant for two years, the account is closed.

How about a standing maintainace/site status thread? This would mean all slowdown issues would be posted there and keep the moderators from answering all the inquiry emails about "FR is slow, why?"

How about a FR page with just a quick reference list of all the html codes I,B,U,font size,image sizing,image pasting? JUST a list.

Cellphone paging?

I think that's a good idea. Might cut down on some of the trolls. At least they'd have to put a little more effort into it.

Personally I find all the "Zot", "Viking kitties" etc stuff to be silly & annoying, but maybe that's just me because others seem to enjoy it.

Second that.

How about "ignore" capability?

Even the dearly departed?

BKO, BCM, Angelique, Chief Negotiator, for a few examples.
