some suggestions

before the new album is released, some suggestions to take into consideration

is it really nescessary to have a seperate board for each song and every album? it seems like an awful lot of clicking for nothing. also this forum software is quite out of date. invision and phpbb both provide better forum software for nothing. maybe something like the comatorium's breed project? but cooler and blacker. it would be quite a bit of work, but the site could be overtaken by lesser better looking rivals. also, since this is toonavy, should the user titles be navy based, and not about how many posts a user may have made...
???

make being lost at sea with the navy more appealing than running around like a space monkey with the army...

This has been discussed a few times.

And the admin controls for both of those really suck.

Not a bad idea.

Re: some suggestions

and you could turn the whole site into being forum based thus removing the otherwise possibly akward redesign..
whats on here that couldnt be more easily organised into a forum?

some examples>

Re: some suggestions

I could be wrong, but I don't think dan and co. were trying to make a statement against toolarmy or anything like that when they registered toolnavy.com. It changed from toolshed.down.net/opinion to its own domain after a long period of downtime... which led me to believe that it was either a bandwidth or server side support issue.
