Being the new guy, my opinions should probably be taken with a grain of salt, but here goes...

I'm with Thanatos on the adult forum. While it could potentially increase activity, it wouldn't necessarily be the kind of activity this site is looking for. At the same time, I guess it could be good for a laugh.

I'm definitely down with the Quick Signup and Archive Quick Reply ideas, as well as removing thread expiration. I know that I've found lengthy signup processes to be a deterrant in the past, and when stumbling across random, archived threads, occassionally want to throw in my two bits, but don't get the chance because of expiration. I do agree with Lenny's idea of placing a limit on the number of posts available to "guest" accounts. There needs to be some form of structure.

I have no particular problems with any of the other ideas. Sorry Chruser, not entirely sure I'm ready to be a mod just yet, but I'm more than willing to start (what I consider to be) stimulating threads. In case anyone was wondering, I'll be sticking around. I like the atmosphere here, which is more than I can say for most other forums I've checked out.
