There are a few issues concerning the forums at the moment which I'd like to open up to member input. A few of them are rather obvious, after the recent catfights, but a few are some most of you are either oblivious to, or haven't given much thought to.

Spicing Up the Forums
The forums, while they're doing okay, are lacking in member activity. It's pretty obvious, because Off-Topic Discussion has always been the barometer of our activity - and as of late, it has decreased quite a bit. I've been thinking a tad on the subject, as to how we could bring in more activity, but I've really turned up nothing. So far the best suggestion has been from Hobo, whereby we torch the forums. I'd like all of you to please, Jesus, please, suggest something better than that, or I may be forced to get out the matches.

State of the Monarchy
It seems that the Oddworld Forums attract a lot of debate over member issues such as banning, warning, or general happenings. On other forums I've visited, I have rarely seen such a strong force behind the members. This can both a good and bad thing. Here, we try to maintain a fairly democratic system, whereby member input is encouraged (in most cases), so that a decision can be made that isn't biased. However, that was just all waffle to fill space. What I wanted to ask was what people's qualms with the government here are. Things to change? Things to improve? Yada, yada, etc, etc? Moo? Baa?

Other Issues to File
And of course, I open up the floor to anyone else who can think of an issue to discuss.
