Forum FAQ? Like, FAQ for what?
For Frequently Asked Questions. Maybe there isn't at lot to draw from yet, but with time a number of questions will be turning up again and again. A FAQ is also a nice intro to a forum, it easily shows new users what kind of questions and discussions are commen here.

The literal and technical webmaster of this site is Jinn, but both Gary Wilcox and I have the ability and authority to make just about any decision here regarding the forums.
Right, fine.

The Library Forums encompass a wide variety of subject matter: From peoples' real BDSM lives to comments about stories to ideas for other stories to completely un-BDSM-related stuff like politics and New Year's resolutions.
Yes, and that's fine. A small detail: Maybe there should be two "general" forums, one for general bdsm-talk, and one for general talk about everything else. It's not a big problem at the moment.

And I agree. I think this place has a huge potential to become that 'definitive' BDSM discussion board.
Exactly!

Sadly, though, since this site actually advocates reading, it gets passed over by a large portion of the online community. Those that want chat, porn and active scenes of bound, naked women being flogged.
True, but they wouldn't contribute anything much in any case, so that's not much of a loss.
The way to make a big, popular forum with an active and thriving community is to make the members do the work. To make the site so interesting that people keep coming back. As it is now, 10% of the members have written 90% of the posts, and most members have never written a single post.
At first the administrators and moderators need to do most of the work, but if it is done well, and the website is inviting and nice, new active members always turn up.

The site is functionial and easy to navigate. I could care less how it looks, personally, but I'm just like that.
Fine, I mostly agree. But if we want more active members, we need to think about their wishes not our just own.

Jinn is the only programmer for this site. Between story updates and his real life, I'm sure he's not left with a whole lot of time for hefty site redesigning. Although, he has mentioned to me that he wants to do more to it and make it look more professional.

I'd look for some big site changes in the coming year.
Fair enough. We can all help you know - we can discuss ideas and look elsewhere for inspiration. And if Jinn needs technical help, I'm sure we can find that as well.
