There is a pretty big list of desired features by users. It was mentioned already, I know, but that's worth repeating. I figure if there is collection of wanted features those would be the first place to start, maybe even with a poll to see what's all most important to the community. 

Looking over the place I do find it a bit funny how people talk to one another. The Guild has a lot of great roleplays going on, albeit, a bit slow in some areas, then you have the OT area where people basically just tear one another down and get pissed. The attention that area seems to get and those massive posts you see in there with tons of references to pop culture and articles is strangely more popular than Advanced, which can be long in each post, but definitely doesn't require you to have your finger on the political pulse. What if people were encouraged more to focus on the RP areas with greater sub-forums like Advanced, Casual, and Free specific general boards (along side the Roleplay and Interest Checks tabs) to just let people build off one another.
