The "New Forum" Discussion Thread
This was sort of lost in the shuffle with the birthday thread "discussions" over the weekend.

Since Arch and company are evaluating new forum software, I thought it would be a good idea to get a discussion going regarding end user requirements, requests, suggestions, ideas, etc.
What are yours?
======================
I'll start it off with a few that immediately come to mind:
1) Structure/Format - I like the current structure with forums/top
More emoticons.
An on/off option for the *spoon* filter.
A "like" button that translates to visible reputation points for users to chime in on post quality.
OR an emoticon comment area at the bottom of posts like so:
______________________________________-
x5 (thumbs u x 1 x 15 x 55 x 12 x 3
______________________________________
For maximum impact allow users to click these emoticons and see the user names under each feedback emoticon
