I can't offer anything useful on the main issues, but I'll try to address the ones on the agenda.
So, the questions on the agenda:
1) What should the new look of the website be?
2) What needs to be removed/added to the forum? Could the forum's engine be changed? What should be done with the reputation system – is it needed in its current form, or should it be preserved?
And most importantly:
1) Who will be on the Hive's board of directors?
Since the moderator-coordinators have changed more than a hundred times in the past two years, I don't even know some of them – let's get acquainted; you can write to me on ICQ – 204340899 or in a private message – I plan to be here more often now :)
I generally like the look of the website; perhaps the forum's appearance could be made more user-friendly, and the forum itself could be faster. I'm not a programming specialist, so I can't offer anything helpful. But it's worth changing :) I think the reputation system is a thing of the past. It was good when the forum and website were growing. Now, the Hive is a well-known community in the Heroes world. It's not even worth mentioning which forums, both domestic and foreign, the Hive is known on and with whom it holds Tournaments; the Hive has its own permanent (in the full sense of the word) users, and that's the most important thing. Real-life meetups and other events are organized, so virtual reputation no longer carries much weight. I suggest keeping the birds but disabling the ability to raise morale.
Who will be on the board of directors? If this is a question for each person individually, I will definitely give a negative answer; I'm not that active online, so I don't see myself on any boards. If an answer needs to be given in the form of a list, I'll take a time-out and be able to suggest a trio or quintet of candidates later.
Regarding getting acquainted. Although I haven't changed and have been here regularly since the forum opened, we haven't met :) I've noted your ICQ, so 277184158 is now in your address book.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask; I'm happy to chat.
Good luck with your endeavors :)
