Scheduled forum changes
These are the plans for the forum over the next few days...
The Spam Forum will be set to auto pruning. Any topics dumped into the "Spam Forum" will be automatically be deleted after 1 month by the forum software.
New ModeratorsNo new Moderators are needed for the moment. Inactive Moderators will set to a "[i]Retired[/i]" status until them become active again. This makes it easier for everyone to know who are the active Moderators.
A few Moderators will be selected to actively recommend new members to become Moderators to ensure that there is a healthy active number of Moderators on the forums at all times.
Most of the forum areas are too generalised ie. "Gaming, Music & Entertainment", "Anime & Manga Discussions" & "Japan Discussion". They don't invoke any discussions because the topic is too broad.
Instead, more specific forum sections will be created ie. "Anime Episodes" with subforums like "Bleach; Naruto; One Piece".
This will invoke healthy discussions by limiting the topic material. General topics that don't these forums can still be posted in "General Chit Chat".
The website may have 7000 users but most of them are inactive...
Users who haven't visited the website in over 1 Year will be deleted from the board to give a more accurate number of current members.
Re-skinThe forum will be visually updated. Something that is more in keeping with Anime/Manga style. Something that is easier to use/read.
Adding Fun to the Forum!New modifications and new smilies shall be be added to the forum to make it more fun. People like to spend there time so I want to make it as enjoyable as possible

I won't be going overboard like other forums with adding arcade's or anything like that, just little touches that I hope you will appreciate (like the reputation points).
Well, those are my thoughts for the moment... I shall update this post when I have had more time to think about it. It would also be interesting to hear your comments!
