Idea #1 - Force TV's Joe whatever his name is to change his username. I don't like it, never have. There, finally, everyone has been staring at this elephant in the room for a long time now, it took someone like me to bite the bullet and bring this matter forward. Honestly, it ranks up their with owrst usernames of all time. I think I've seen a few usernames that feature numbers, because the name they wanted was taken, that are better than his. If I went and put an "As Seen On TV" after my name, everyone would throw their arms up in disgust at what I've done to my username, taking the proverbial dump on it. I believe him changing his name will greatly increase traffic and board usage.
Idea #2 - Swearing Sundays. Every post made on a Sunday must include a swear word. Now I understand most people already do this, the battle for sobriety raging on inside your head forces the word's of the devil out as part of the healng process. I'm just saying there's some members who are...for lack of better words, complete and utter poofters, not only do they need to bring the curse to Sunday, they also need to put the orange juice down, put some vodka in it, hand it to the missus, and get yourself a real fucking drink. Swearing Sundays won't do much for traffic or board usage, but it will make us who live and die by the foul mouth of satan feel a lot better about it.
Idea #3 - You've over-estimated the average wrestling fan, they look at the board and go "what's a media?". Stop being pretentious wankers and change the name to Wrestling Videos. It's not like you have anything else in there anyway. Looking past that aswell, 95% of your links are dead within 24 hours making your forum for it 100% useless.
Idea #4 - Nah seriously do it, kill that lame art thing, it's like the retarded ranga sister of the man without a face. Stop giving people the false impression that they may actually have some skills by giving them a platform to post their shitty creations so far too nice for their own good people can say what a wonderful job they've done. They shouldn't, and they haven't. I could run a photo of my dick through five Photoshop filters and could get an A+ from you guys.
Idea #5 - Less football (soccer) talk in the sports forum. Yes it's the most popular game in the world, but it's also more boring to talk about than baseball is to watch. It being a sport played worldwide goes against it, you don't follow the same teams, you're not even in the same competitions, and the team that wears red always wins anyway. Except for Adelaide United. Go take a look a the forum, the only topics that have over 10 replies are either not about football, or are more general information football topics, not even related to an actual game. Personally I'd promote the posting of things like Top 5 lists, highlight clips, blogs on your team of choice. Ways to promote people to watch different sport to what they're accustomed to.
Done.
