You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

guys (and ladies, but let's be honest), we just got word from the exec team that they're accepting proposals for a total refresh of the SA site. we're starting from scratch on the front and backend. So let's have it, what are your best new ideas? what technologies should we use? what features do we need? what technical debt do we need to address?

I'll collate your best ideas and submit them as a blueprint for the E-team

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
jeff fatwood from snack overflow suggested the forums switch to discourse, his new bespoke artisanal Web 3.0 forums software with built in gamification and a combination of flat and hierarchical discussion

lowtax has this weird idea that gbs circa 2002 was some kind of golden age, so the best course of action is to ask lowtax what he wants and then do the opposite of that
