I can't see us ever competing with stackoverflow in the programming spectrum, especially when we're unable to do basic syntax highlighting correctly. Why?
We're gunning for a marketplace like Flippa, absolutely nothing special or unique there. Why?
Our design forums are less functional than yaxay's were. Why?
I hardly ever see staff address real issues. Too busy playing janitors?
We have had TF info and Marketplace above core forums for years. Why?
Months were invested into a plugin that pays to post. Why?
Why are we still getting duplicate URLs in Google? I believe someone pointed this out long before I.

What more than a forum do you suggest we become?

If we continue as a forum we should at least do the basics right, and move away from this dated structure.

So what do you suggest we do then? All you have outlined is what you consider to be problems. What would need to be implemented / changed so we move away from this 'dated structure'?
