Give up the silly notion of only being a "web design & webmaster" forum. Remember, we're TalkFreelance not TalkWebDesignAndWebmastering.

• Blogs, no.
• Articles, not a dedicated section: keep what we have in the forums.
• Webmaster tools, no. Freelancer tools, maybe.
• New skin, no.
• [SOLD] feature for sales, yes.
• vBulletin upgrade, yes - if only for improved security (and a bit more bloat).

My suggestion, KISS. I'm sure you know what that means.

Cheerio,
Salathe
