Good thinking, I reckon there should be one of those roll up adverts that pops up with loud sound everytime your mouse scrolls on it in between posts too.

I think I'd be up there as one of the first.

Maybe stuart'll let us try it out

It would be fun, whenever someone tries to be a smartass you could just ban them

Re: If you ran avforums......
The ability to rate and de-rate posts. Much like on Engadget.

I would also overhaul the site UI. It's horribly pre-2000. Other than that, no

Oh yeah and maybe get my own back on the mods who gave me infraction points

That's a good idea, even a thumbs up or down like on youtube would do the trick.

It used to be in the Features tab. You earned £1 (cyber £) for every post and then could spend it playing blackjack, roulette, poker etc. There was also a retro games section with Space Invaders and other old games.

Re: If you ran avforums......
After a lengthy consultation period with many other members I would bring back the much lamented 'get your girlfriends/wives out for the lads' thread back. Also I would occasionally leave the Mods forum open once in a while (there has been a precedent) and ban people like 'loadsamoney'
