It says "powered by phorum" -- Kon, you should help phorum to improve itself. Then not only MySQL, but others would benefit.

I vote for fewer sub-forums -- most of the forums have not been added to in days or weeks. Most users simply post in "Newbie".

I vote for less leading between lines (yeah, I know that it is all the rage to space lines apart like this does, but I think it wastes screen space without having any benefit.)

I vote for looking at the html code -- it should not take 0.5 to 1.0 seconds to load a page.

I vote for keeping the captcha -- it does seem to keep out much of the spam. But it would be nice to add a cookie to remember that I am a nice guy.

I don't see much problem with adding an upload facility. There should (could) be code to prevent uploading anything that is .exe, .zip, and other dangerous formats. All we really need is screen images and large text files (data dumps, SHOW..., etc).

Webmaster, are you reading this thread?
