If you guys have any suggestions for the forum, here's the thread for it.

I'm glad to see a Dungeon Synth forum!
I think "Support" could be re-named as "Promotion". I know many people think "promotion" is a dirty word but the term Support makes me think of tech support / help.
Perhaps a dedicated section for "Visual Art" would also be useful. I see so many good music projects using art from fantasy art books or other sources without permission because a lot of times I think they just don't know how or where to connect with artists/designers for their release. When you're young it doesn't seem a big deal but as you get older / more notice (or more "pro" you could say) it could lead to big problems down the line.
Bands should remember even if they give away a release for free using art without permission (even with credit) is still not legal. As a label owner it stops me from making offers to bands when I see it because if the artist should ever happen across it there are a range of trouble they could cause you. Not least of which is recalling and destroying all copies of the infringing materials and it only gets worse consequences from there.

Some suggestions:
1/ I second a dedicated section for visual art such as personal drawings, photo, etc. and, of course, videos.
2/ would be interesting to have as well a dedicated section for interviews/reviews and so on.
3/ and, maybe, a "technical" section (for VST, tips, hardware, etc.)
Just my 2 cents thoughts here...

Well, as someone on the Facebook mentioned, the more subforums you have the less active things tend to be. I think it was necessary to separate dungeon synth discussion from off-topic, but I don't think more is necessary unless those boards start getting really cluttered. Hell, I think we could merge the two music forums into off-topic as well, but things might be a little neater this way. Anyways, I think we should add new subforums cautiously. But I do agree with you Bardalgol on the other point, I've always been bothered when artists use copyright artwork without permission. Think legal troubles couldn't happen? A good example is Mortiis himself: - www.metalkingdom.net/album/mortiis-crypt-of-the-wizard/9292

Us nerds would eventually like a section where we can play RPGs. Maybe some sort of basement.

Maybe some sort of basement. A Dungeon, if you will. I don't know if you've seen it yet but there is a current RPG thread. If it picks up I think we can consider doing a full dedicated section.Yup...you saw it.

Yeah, it definitely looks like we're going to be having a play by post. If you don't mind us just doing it in the general discussion, I don't see why that would be a problem -- I'm not sure the forum is big enough for that to be a problem yet. If and when the population starts rising it might be a good idea to get an RPG section going but as of right now it might be of a lesser priority.

I vote we get rid of the "like" system. In any case I won't be using it.

I think we should have a video gaming section. Only medieval or fantasy games. I got the idea because I've been playing a lot of Chivalry lately.

Could you disable 'Guest' accounts be able to post? I think its fine if lurkers just want to read, but having unregistered Guest posting enabled seems like a bad idea, in terms of both anonymity, and potential for Spam threads/comments by bots.

I was planning on doing that, just had to find where it was in the tools. Found it. What's the consensus on the 'like' feature? It's on by default. I don't really care for it.
