New Queen pics for the graphics.

New Pictures (I don't like that The Works picture :-P)
NEW FORUM! (PhpBB? Yabb..whatever)
with a QUOTE feature and bold, italics
(no picture posting)
Rename MP3 Trading Section to
Trading / Collecting (something in that way)...
Remove the Freddie tribute section from the site ;-)
Sticky topics! Such as
a Chatroom access announcement
for personal section to better
promote the "evil" chatroom of this site.
Remove the Chat and Forum testing
sections (really..are these necessary ?)
That's all I could think of for this second...

Maybe more specific clasification of the pictures. Not only Freddie, Roger, Brian, etc, but in Freddie's section there could be some sub-sections of Freddie singing, Freddie playing (piano), Freddie playing (guitar), Freddie with famous people, Others... that way the photos could have more organisation and the repeated ones (which are a lot) could be detected and deleted

My suggestions:
-Include a PayPal Donation button, because I'm sure Richard will need money to host MP3's. I've seen other websites that are being kept up wonderfully because of donations (and I'll admit, I've donated some small amounts to a couple of sites at least - ever $1 counts :)
-Hire some MODs that we know are reliable and trustworthy and have time during the Western Daytime to moderate the board in a non-QOL fashion and make sure that, while we are free to say WHATEVER we want, that there are no board abusers like Jake, Charles, that are posting spam (you may oppose me for this suggestion - I do believe in Freedom of Speech and Opinions, but I don't believe in spammers like Jakeass and Baer and so therefore I believe in a moderated board that will allow people their freedom of speech but not allow SPAM)
-MP3's (Only rare remixes, similar to that of Ron Buczko's website, and DVD-A DTS rips as well - nothing officially released on commercial CDs, like WWRY/WATC, etc.)
-NO RealMedia files - worst files ever
-VideoCD-quality MPEG video files if possible
-Get rid of Chat section of the forum
-Re-implement the Queen Dreams section of the forum with a disclaimer (eg. This may not be appropriate for readers under 17, blah blah blah) like last time
-Allow HTML tags to a certain extent (not including increasing the font size - we've had that abused in the past and I won't support any font size changes), and allow non-QZ pictures to be displayed on the messages from other sites rather than having a link
-Get rid of the Questions section, and implement a new FAQ section instead
-Have different people approve the news that shows up on the front page - lately we've been having crap or old or both old crap "news" show up on the page ("This song was in a movie..." - yeah, like a YEAR ago)
That's my ideas for now

NO SMILIES- apart from general annoyance they will make the pages load more slowly
Update the FAQ by all means, but please keep some of the silly questions (eg "fan from Turkey" or "Was there ever a chance that Dennis Deyoung was going to sing in Queen?") as they are the best bit!

- Admin/Moderators. Get some people who are here a lot to have the ability to edit/remove post, move topics to the correct forum and close topics when they're double or stuff like that. I wouldn't mind being a moderator :-P
- Allow HTML tags - Bold, Italic, Img Src would be sufficient I think. Some smilies would be nice too.
- Have a proper quote function, so you can actually see who someone is responding to.

"how would one apply in regards to becoming a moderator?"
People who've been around for a long time and are here everyday.

"People who've been around for a long time and are here everyday."
Hmm, these would be the people here who have been members as of August 2001 that I'm sure would qualify right off the gun:
myself
Pim Derks
YourValentine
Fatty (although I know for sure he's definitely not going to be up for the job)
Penetration_Guru
Mr. Scully
and some others that I may have forgotten.
However, some of these peoples have things against certain peoples (eg. P_G has issues against me) and that is the part that scares me, is that I wouldn't know for sure whether he'd can me right off the spot.
This is my idea for the MOD duties:
-Edit other peoples posts when inappropriate R-rated language is used (out of respect for younger posters, none who I can name atm.)
-If 50% or more of the people here have an issue against a poster (say, eg., Jake, Charles), and we VOTE to oust these problematic posters with a result of 50%+ approval to give the boot, then the MOD will delete that persons account. But this is only to be used in "emergency" times when needed, especially in the case of a spammer
Of course, you guys have your ideas too, but I'm more of a Liberal person, and am for change, and I see that some of you show qualities ranging from conservativism, progressive-ism (if that's a word), liberalism, and I can see that we have divided opinions over certain matters.
Gee, isn't it wonderful to have a multiculturalistic board? :)
But anyways, unless you guys can find a way of being able to oust crap posters such as Baer without the need of MODs or e-mailing Richard Orchard, I'm sure my idea is good.
And I would like to see an election, poll-wise, as to who should be MOD, decided on how we older posters should moderate the board and how our views are.
I am, also, not for radical MODs, who delete everyone they dislike, like on QZ, or to restrict all aspects of freedom of (normal) speech, except for R-RATED swears, which I must encourage lesser use of.
Like I said, we should have a MOD who does things as the majority sees fit to happen

It's not like we need 15 mods Dark - 4/5 at max I think. People who can be online a lot @ work/school etc.
I'm online 90% of the time from 8.00am till 11pm ;-)
And we'd just have to make some rules. I'm not a fan of certain people here either, but that shouldn't be a reason for me to ban them and/or edit their posts.
