May be TL but a way to see the threads you've replied to (not broadcasts you've made), like a post history of some sort

Search, categories, filters, tags, video embed, responsive (mobile), micro comment improvements (difficult to comment on comments w such small character count), moderators, spam filters, and updated design. But then again, these are all qualities of better UX that is typically reserved for sites that are design related (oh, shit - wait,what?!?)
W/o any ad revenue I highly doubt this site will see changes anytime soon. I cannot image the unique traffic is much to speak about either. Also, the content has become so non design related that I see no reason why owners would invest any more than they already have. If the original content evolved into something a bit more valuable then I can see an investment being made but the market has held on this long, why change it now?

I think jtb26 makes a good point. The Public Choice seems like an underutilized aspect when really it could bring the focus back to what it was supposed to be about - news for the design industry.
As far as COTD goes, I think it's fine to have a few NSFW threads, but unfortunately people had to go and abuse the privilege by creating Ass of the Day, Butt of the Day, Tits of the Day, Chick of the Day GIF, Porn of the Day, Bukkake of the Day, and probably a few more I'm not thinking of. At some point we should decide whether this is a site about design, technology and futurism, or whether it is a place to wank with other designers to soft pron.

I like the idea some are offering where threads can be marked NSFW (or 'mature content') by the person posting (or a follow-up mod if need-be). One thing I've always liked about this site is that it has a little bit of a slightly lawless feel where the criminals are guilty of being intelligent, creative and horny.

This is a design forum. Designers seek inspiration. Nothing inspires quite like seeing a nice pair of tits and a great ass.
Just saying.

Sure more design content, better features, etc. but I think what keeps us coming back are the members. The QBN community.
If there was a way to get the older folks to come back and be more involved be it guest posts or inviting industry leaders to contribute that would go a long way in making QBN better.

Will be improved once hipster culture dies.

More curated content.
Or
Promote Public Choice in the UX of the site.I have a lot to say on this topic but this seems like a more rapid fire thread so I'll leave it at that.

Create a hit list, which everyone can secretly vote on all the users..
anyone who gets above a certain level gets the bullet to the neckjust kidding.. it would be a blood bath
