Alright things that bother me about forums....

For the most part i agree with everything that has been posted

I can't stand those ads that follow me as I scroll across the screens. It feels as if they are trying to shove that ad down my throat.

No music whatsoever playing in the background. I will listen to my own music, instead of being forced to listen the forums music.

The phrase "keep it simple, stupid" applies here. Instead of making a forum that shows everything of the first page, make the forum user friendly. Let the user navigate to where he or she is going to with appropriate titles.

Also with showing recent posts on your home page. Doesn't that defeat the point of the forum. I go to the forum to post and read posts. It seems redundant to have the posts that i can read on a different page. Its like come on! get some different front page material.
