* No ability to add links for people with less than 5 posts.
I know vbulletin has plugins for such features. And would probably take less than 20 minutes to add them.
Also - on other forums I've been a member of - one thing really helps in making sure the quality of conversation goes up. That is: making sure people use their full name and a photo. No random sounding usernames. But I know a lot of folks here like to be anonymous - so thats your call if you want to do such a thing...
Also - the archives... I know you're busy - but maybe we could hire a freelancer from odesk.com and anyone who wants to - can pitch in in paying him?

Hi Ankesh,
I really appreciate your suggestions!
I'll definitely check into your vBulletin plug-in suggestions - they make a lot of sense, and you're right, it would get rid of the problems of a lot of "drive by" spam...
I also agree that we gotta get the rest of those archives up! I (or we) gotta get working on that...
I'm taking your suggestions on board, and will see what I can do...!
Thanks Ankesh - your suggestions are always welcome, and I value them highly!
Best wishes,
Dien
