This forum is an SEO forum, look at the bottom of each page:
My own forum runs on SMF (Simple Machines Forums)

oooh okay

do you know what SEO breaks down to mean?

Simple what what?

Search Engine Optimized Forum.
Ergo: A forum with which the owner can make as much money as possible.

Oh okay hmmm

I'm going to check the other forum and see what type it is.

that's the info I got. I guess they are SEO as well. So that means we would be able to have skins on this forum if they can do it but one thing I don't know is what vBulletin Version MB uses. I guess I could find that easily.

I'm not sure if it's possible on this forum. But on another forum I go to they have a follow feature. If you like the way a person posts or what ever You can click follow and anytime that person posts. You get notified each and every time.
Just an idea take it as you will
thanks

Ok yeah. I love outdated 8-bit and flash games. Bring it on. Might be good if I get bored or something.

I'd like to show some support for two of the better ideas I've seen on the OP list. That is the notifications when you get visitor messages, and extra PM space.

Also, separating Metal and Rock into two separate subforums, or at the very least putting a sub-subforum for death and black metal in the same way as the prog section branches off from the main rock/metal section.

There's an extent to which I like this idea, but it would have to be more complex than that. Users would need the ability to opt out of being followed by others, and anybody blocked by them would have to be unable to use the feature (to avoid harassment).

idk the reason I don't like this idea too much is because you can already look up a poster that you like and just view all of their previous posts if you wanted to.

I don't think there is a need for a follow option imo.

That seems kind of stalker-ish to me...
