For any innovative thoughts to help improve the website.

Perhaps a separate thread/topic that would give out links, such as a Dropbox link, to PDF files of rulebooks and novels of certain RPGs such as WoD or DnD. It would be easier to help people get started on RPGs they're interested in, and anyone could help out.
There might also be a way to circumvent the whole "might get the forums shut down" thing.

Got a PvP section? I have a random mob algorithm I want to throw out there. The idea is to generate a random unit, make every aspect of that unit random, and then assign a multiplier to each ability to denote its average combat effectiveness.
I've also invented several game modes out of this. For example I've had both players randomly pull 6 random creatures out, assign a random value to their army costs so they have to fill in that army value as best as they can using nothing but a combination of their 6 characters (copies are allowed ad infinitum). They fight it out, and whichever team makes it out alive wins the round. Army values are reset, and players can rebuild their armies until one players reaches 5 wins.
I got tips on map design and how to make a decent multiplayer map, but not everyone has time to make dozens of maps on pieces of white bristol board. Instead I can show how to make a randomly generated maps from 16 printer paper sheets taped together in a grid, and a couple of sheets of construction paper.

Sweet water why not just create a post with your system in the play-by-post section?

Also might be a good idea that, at this point, a change to a more proper and enjoyable graphic layout of the forum should be considered.

Well these are the FJ colors so i think keeping the colors would be appropriate but the layout such as the white background wouldn't hurt i think.

Perhaps dividing the Game Finder section into a GMs looking for players and a Players looking for GM section?

Also we have a lot of people asking for help or suggestions, how about an Advice section?

We need a dedicated "Pimp my Build" thread... I think I'll make that in general. Also, do we have an inbuilt rolling mechanism on the forums? If not, it could be useful for any future PbP games or OOC Stat Generation threads.
And perhaps a stickied "Useful Links and Resources" Thread? So instead of people asking about interactive sheets, or where to find information on a specific system... Frak it, I'll make a thread about that in General too.
