Suggestions on Improving the Forums

Lordy, this place is a mess sometimes.
I love what Benjamin has done with the
tasteful decor, with the blend of muted
purples, pinks, and yellows with black
and grey trim and such. But just a few
suggestions:

1. Split P&R into two separate forums.
Make it comletely secular. Right now
the two of them are merged into one nasty
ball of twine, which means folks who are
religious can chime in on political discussions
like abortion and assisted suicide. I say,
anyone who is anti-abortion and such should
be relegated to the "Religion Only" forum
and not allowed to discuss their religious
points of view on a political thread.

2. mdiver's posting limit should be limited
to about 5 a day, and not allowed to post
in the Politics forum at all. He's European
anyways--his opinions on God's country don't
really count, right? Lordy lock

Three. The use of the numeral '3' should
not be allowed in the music & more forum,
especially if it's replacing the letter 'e'.
Lord hammercy, if folks aren't allowed to
discuss Prince's homer sectionality, then
we can ban numbers too. Reading those threads
is confusing enough with Mggree and Tame's
threads as they are--we don't need more weird
number/letter games.

4. Where I come from, folks have big hair
and 100 x 100 pixel avatars are better accommodated
to help gals like me out. The current 64 x 64
standard can't possibly be difficult to update to
a 100 x 100 or at least 72 x 72 pixel resolution.
It would be nice to have animated gif avatars,
so yall can see me swing my curly hair, but
for starters 100 x 100 would be nice.

5. Is it possible to add status messages like in
facebook to account for friends ? Tracking mdiver's
banning status is difficult without this feature,
god bless his heart.
Girls who do crack always got them messed up, missing teeth, bless their hearts.

Lordy, I strike one of my suggestions.
A larger version of your avatar
is too much for me to deal with.

Homer sectionals are known to buy
those types of dogs.

I hate it when people post with
alter accounts to make a complaint
against another orger. Of course,
I thought mdiver was an alter account
as well though. Weird.

Really? Why? Alters aren't allowed, so why not ban it? Perhaps one of those favoritising things that don't exist on the site?

Actually, I'm re-reading the pleasant "Malloreon" fantasy series by David Eddings, and there they're going to something called "The Place Which Is No More" and sometimes that reminds me of the Org... things that don't exist etc.
