Didn't Brian mention something back around the New Year about making some changes to the software which included a new voting system?  This is what I'd do!

I would make it so that all my posts don't start with a 0.  I still don't understand why this happens and it frustrates me.

- Old voting system

- Collapsable comments or at least a line down the left margin so it's easier to skip the mini pissing matches that happen in a comment and get back to the actual thread

Everybody's covered the voting. I would change it so when someone replies to you, you get a notification. Even just for mobile this would change my life. I've commented so many times and never checked again. Case in point: I've asked if this was possible and I was just missing something, and never knew if someone answered. New case: probably won't check this comment.

I used to go back to old comments but too lazy now.

The posters here are great, but from a technical standpoint this place is awful. I post at a few forums and they're pretty intuitive as far as posting images, etc., but for some reason things like that are so difficult here we have threads dedicated to them. At times it chooses to remember me, at others it doesn't. It takes longer for the site to load as well.

Ban the people who go out of their way to click on a forum topic that they don't like so they can downvote it and post a comment like "no one cares about (enter topic here)"

If you don't like it, don't click on it jackass

Create a dedicated space where people who "totally don't care" about MSU and OSU can post and comment on the goings-on at these two programs.  I love this place most of the time, but if Meyer or Dantonio's squads so much as fart in public this place blows up with redundant, self-congratulatory posts.

Also, more meaningful voting.  It feels like the 2000 elections up in here!  Am I right?

 

Also, lifted ban on political jokes.

I would love a section where there is nothing but videos. Highlight videos of recruits, old games, old highlights, etc. Whenever one goes up, I am thrilled since it gives me something to do at work. If there was a whole section, I would be thrilled

  • Start a MGoScholarship fund
  • Replace all Kate Upton gifs with a gyrating, shirtless Tom Brady
  • Use videos of the MMB playing instead of The Muppets
  • Encourage older users to share more stories about past games
  • Make Spunky Brewster the default winner when no one guesses the score, wins stuff
  • Try to get readers to maize-out the Palace for Burke's first game against the Pistons  
  • Be more welcoming to younger fans, current students, drunk sorority girl, etc.
  • Not allow serious meltdowns after losses
  • Make "What are you eating?" a part of the drinking threads
  • Add a spell check option for comments and creating content

i would get rid of the horrible forum commenting layout.. its so annoying to follow along.

also, you cannot go to the second page of the forum (unless you use the sidebar)
