Well lee and I both agree we should spruce this place up a bit. There's a number of things I've been thinking about doing that could make our little community here much better. I've been wanting to upgrade the forum software, and that's what has been stalling a lot of these plans, but it doesn't look like the webhost will be able to support it anytime soon. But no worries, we can do fine without it. Some things I've been thinking about doing:
Website:
An IRC quotes database. I've been wanting to do this for a while. After seeing bash.org I think it would be neat if we could have our own little place to store all the best quotes from the semicolon-zero IRC network.
An art page for the where the talented artists among us can pimp their work. Maybe a sub-domain like art.semicolon-zero.com.
Have the IRC stats page link user names to their forum profile.
The main page updated, with much more content, easy to navigate, and a better overall look.
Upgrade/update hosting accounts.
Members list updated and have usernames link to individual profile.
Updating all the main website sections: articles, files, portal, links.
Forums:
Improve the top logo and navigation at the top of the page so it looks nicer.
Adding a few more skins, and possibly having different skins for each forum.
Improving the forum layout. The general thread view layout is nice, but there were a few other things I would like to tidy up a bit such as the reply screen, profile screen, members screen, search screen, main board page
Fix the look of the forum in other browsers. I noticed things look kinda wonky in nutscrape (although it's your own fault for using such a shitty browser). I'll see what I can do to fix this.
------------------------
Those are the things I've been able to come up with recently, on how we can make this place even better. Feel free to add any other suggestions to this thread, it is our community after all. :)
