Couple of things:
1. Topic Lists vs. Topic Categories
I also like the simplicity of the current topic list. However... the one thing I've always wanted here is some filtering or identification system for separating design posts from everything else. I actually have an idea for this. It would be nice to have an icon system to represent a set of topics: Graphic Design, Web Design, Photography, Current Events / Politics, Help Needed (catch-all for design help, tips, etc.) Random/Nonsense, Music, and possibly others.You'd see all topics in ascending order by recency as it currently is arranged, but you'd have a filter to chose a specific topic to only view posts in that topic.
Where this gets weird is things like What are you listening to, animated gif thread, pic of the day, COTD, etc. where it's basically one giant thread that's continuously added to, which is a format that suits those topics. It would be weird if you had to view gif threads individually.
So maybe it could be a mix of topic categories with multiple posts, and some topic categories that consist of just one thread that's constantly grows.
2. New Members - I think it would be great to keep it tight, but still allow for people to join up. Invites would work, but I've always liked the concept of the masses approving/disapproving members based on a short bio, list of interests, etc. submitted in a form and then voted on by all existing members. Is that too exclusive? Would it help keep the right kind of people here? At the very least, it prevents it becoming a spam-haven because you're only able to post if you get approved.
- people can make one category per week. categories stay alive as long as they meet progress requirements, otherwise, they disappearcannonball1978
