2. Community events
i know they have community events here but more events specifically more diverse events will draw some ppl here, like a poetry contest or a song contest where the community votes and picks out the winner
3, Better layout / Blogs
personally i think the layout of this forum is too basic to quote murderface it lacks.. Sazz lol
also i don't understand why blog are disabled and instead we have member journals that have to be Mod approved
through blogs we could get to know how a person is like not just how much he knows about music
i think in blogs you can share more personal thoughts without affecting the community or threads here

The problem with your first and last suggestions, are they require technical changes to the forum, or the enabling of vbulletin options that are only available to the admin. It's pretty much impossible to get those things done, which is precisely why the forum looks as dated as it does - Tore campaigned ceaselessly for technical improvements to the site while he was a mod, and ultimately came away with nothing. Its common knowledge at this point that even if the whole mod team makes the request, they're far more likely to get no answer at all, than they are to even get a simple "no".
Your second suggestion makes perfect sense, and a few members have expressed similar sentiments, but I think we should be careful not to start a hundred clubs at once - I don't think we have the membership, nor does our membership have the time, to devote to that many different clubs and meber-led initiatives.
