Hello all,
I've been discussing various ideas with my fellow admins about a possible site revamp. We've been talking about adding a couple of threads about up to date events etc etc. We agree that the showcase room section was a succesful idea and will let that continue to be so and thanks to everyone has contributed.
But I also would like to know your thoughts and suggestions on what we could change or add to this forum. Please let us know. Thanks!

It would be nice if the forum were a bit busier more often, but it's perfectly understandable why it isn't. That said, it would be lovely to have more threads about other music folks like. How about nicking ideas for threads from other forums: e.g. "Today I love...", "Today I hate...", "Random outbursts", stuff like that..... Ideas always welcome.

I think those are good suggestions. This is a great place for Mogwai discussion but I don't really feel like I know anyone

Sounds good to me too, certainly worth a go.

I learn a shit ton of Mogwai related things here all the time, but I wouldn't mind getting to know the people posting the stuff! Might make for some awesome board member hang outs at shows and whatnot.

I have uploaded all avatars belonging to this forum again. I accidentally deleted them from my personal photobucket.com account. Sorry about that.

Does anyone miss a banner like the one we had a couple of years ago?

think we could draw the band in with a reboot of the Q&A section?!

Any particular reason for forcing people to log in to check for new posts (or was this board option enabled by mistake)?

It's been changed back to the normal setting now. Everyone can view the forum.

Personally I wouldn't have all the different sections (Mogwai, RA, Other, showcase) just have a singular board, as not many people post, so it is too fragmented. You aren't going to learn anything about anyone else by having their various views spread over three or four boards.
This forum has always lacked a bit of buzz, which I find strange as they are a popular band, the band themselves sometimes post, and they are an act people are passionate about. How you boost that atmosphere, I dunno, but it can be a pretty humourless place here.

And with that, the next thing I look at has been moved (a tattoo thread). It's all a bit too regulated.

Love the idea of a banner to spruce the place up, as well as a reboot of the Q&A thread. Also up for the idea of some "getting to know you" threads.

Perhaps we tend to be more cautious because we don't know each other personally, and so don't want to cause offence. I visit other forums where people get very hostile towards each other, and it's all on the internet for people to see and throw their hats in the ring, so to speak.

One of the reason we started this forum was to be the complete opposite of the Mogwai forum at Chemikal Underground. A long time ago and there was a quite a lot of trolls there. Now here's only one troll and that's me.

more activity would be good. i don't really have any real suggestions. i always did enjoy the q&a stuff, though.. from the thread on here to the section of the official site, it was typically entertaining at the least.
