SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It's been three weeks - now, what would you guys like to see, and see changed?

The newness has worn off and the age wrinkles are showing - what should be changed around here?

No suggestions here, I"m content with the status quo.

I'm with RPGPundit:

Features being restricted by postcount made me lose interest in some other message boards I used to visit. Minitokyo for example.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

well... there is a split between the d20 forums and the fantasy forums. however, the big elephant game is DND, which doesn't have a dedicated forum. It might be good to have a forum solely for DND stuff, so that d20 can be about d20 and fantasy can be about non-dnd fantasy.

or not. in general i think this is a great site so far.

I don't think we need 3 forums that are all basiclly the same.  No need for a D&D, D20 and Fantasy forum.  It split things up to much and makes it somewhat confusing.  

The board is great I wouldn't change anything.

Seriously, I'm more or less set.  I believe this is my first MB where some features are restricted by post count.  I find myself actually anticipating having a sig or an avatar or being able to accord reputation unto others.  It's sort of silly, but I almost think I'm appreciating it more this way. :p

Really, you guys are straight par for the course thus far.  Keep on keepin' on.

Well, I would like to have the forum header on every tab.

It's the thing with the links:

And also, gaming blogs have three different links for them. For example,
/taxonomy/term/46, /node/82, and forums/showthread.php?t=552 ... Until the thing with the blog parser recognizing vB code is dealt, only the forum link is really interesting, as the node and taxonomy links are "uglicized" by unrecognized tags.

And if I had the slightiest idea about the reasonable feasibility of it, I'd suggest improving the alt-ID for PbP stuff. Like, in "thread tools", an option to always post in this thread as alt-ID X or Y... I know just enough about PHP to guess this killer feature would be a real pain to code, most probably, though.

Like Kryyst said ; too much clutter.
I too wish there were a more elegant ordering of these forums , but it looks simply impossible to do without more useless clutter.
Maybe rolling D20 and "Fantasy" into a "D&D and related"-forum would help , but that's far from ideal as well....

I'm also not quite down with the whole features-by-level thing.

I approve of only seasoned posters giving out rep - that makes sense.  Otherwise, I thought it was cute at first but now find it a little annoying.

Maybe I just want a big avatar again, though. ;)

Yes. I'm one of those who aren't really bothered by the features being restricted by level. It may encourage a bit of postwhoring early, though.

I have been very happy with this site, but I am happy with the changes made too. I think we have an established userbase that it mature enough no to need incentives to post. Plus we are already experienced with rep, so I don't see that as a problem. Although, if it were me, I would not have a rep system at all.
