I would like to suggest that the site opens up more running threads. For example, rather than just having 'general vikes discussion', 'game day talk', 'stadium issues', 'draft thread' etc... I think there should be a running thread on every player on the roster as well as offensive strat, defensive strat, vikes in the community, on so on. The hard reality of the current design is that it's really really hard to keep up with the massive thread 'general vikes talk'. It's much easier to lurk than to contribute and when a person does finally contribute there are so many gems of posts that just get buried. The current system also lends itself to posters repeating things over and over and over and over. Most sites that I frequent allow users to start their own threads at will. You can sticky the big ones if you like but my experience says that the good ones will always stay towards the top. Basically I feel no motivation to make a well-constructed, stat-laden, historically-researched post in the 'general vikes talk' thread when I know it will be buried in two days. I've been on sites where people have made absolutely legendary posts that stand the test of time and get 'bumped' quite often. This is not possible in the current format. Just throwing this out there...
