Hi all,

I'm a new member. I've read many articles on these forums in the last couple of days, and it seems like a nice place. Not perfect though. I'll just give a few comments, please feel free to ignore or discuss. I'm posting to "Site Announcements", please move the thread if that's the wrong place.

1) The forums
I want information! The starting page should tell the surfer what this page is, and what the general purpose of the forums is. A small text from the site admin or something like that.
I'd also like a forum FAQ - not the vBulletin FAQ, but a FAQ specifically for the forum.
Who's the technical webmaster?

2) The future
As I said I think the specific purpose of the forums needs to be spelled out. I guess it started as a companion to the story library, but the "community forums" seems to indicate that people want to discuss BDSM in general. So there are two purposes, which is fine. The fact is that there really aren't very many good, free BDSM discussion boards on the net. I really think there is a niche for bdsmlibrary to expand in that area.

3) Design and usability
There is a completely different design on the bdsmlibrary intro page, the story pages and here in the forum. None of them are very good imo. I think they should be more alike, more connected.
