Some very preliminary talks have taken place about doing some tweaking to the design here,
something I like to consider every ten years or so, whether it seems needed or
not. Things I would like to accomplish include turning the rarely used side menu
to drop-down top menu, consolidating all the other side-content and ads into a
single side column, and getting the site to work a little better on smartphones. While change can be
jarring, I think all that can be accomplished without significantly harming the
look and feel of the site, while still making it a bit less clunky. History
suggests that further progress on such an undertaking will be slow (if not
nonexistent), so there
should be adequate time to offer feedback on the plan. Feel free to chime in.

A Like system. Fosters community and easy to do.
At this point I'm looking at changes to the main page, the forums are going to be a whole other sticky wicket. But I'll comment on these suggestions.
Increase URL length limits.
Long URLs break the forum format, so the URL code is to fix that... just that people have a hard time working it.
Notify if a comment is added to a post you commented on. Keep the shit goin...
Already present.
Secondary, embed photo's/movies. Adds spice.
And porn, and more moderation issues. May be a tough bridge to cross.
Otherwise look and feel is good.
Other than that, how did you enjoy the show, Mrs. Lincoln?
