There are way too many forum sections here, and some are hardly ever used anymore.

Forums I would merge:
"Building a New PC" and "Other PC Hardware" and "Home Theater PC" - becomes "PC Hardware & setup" - the software part of the HTPC forum goes to the linux and windows software forums where people are more likely to respond.
"DVD-ROM Drives" and DVD+R Drives" - becomes "Optical drives" and also includes blu-ray drives.
"HD DVD Discussion" and "Blu-Ray Discussion" - becomes "Blu-Ray and HDDVD Discussion"

Current System: Windows 7 RC1, DFI M2RS, ATI 3870HD, Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600, Athlon 9950, 6GB Corsair DDR2, 3TB RAID 5, 750GB Raid-1, 500GB RAID-1, 640GB RAID-0 Boot, 3ware 9690SA, Adaptec 2610SA, Adaptec 1430SA, Intel Gigabit NIC (PCI), LG 20X Lightscribe DVDR, Coolmax 1200w Power Supply, Logitech G15(first edition), Logitech G5(Second Edition), modified dell poweredge 1800 server case.
Overall configuration: Perfect chair, two 22" widescreens overhead, Logitech 5.1 Audio

seeing as we are waiting for a full site upgrade sometime this summer.. what's the point?

New features sound good.. especially in the news area... I'm looking forward to the upgrades which will no doubt see a large rationalisation and the dropping of the multitude of duplicated console and dvd topics.

Can't wait for the update...I just hope they do a beta first to work out the bugs.

We saw the trial setup earlier in the year.. it looks good (like Jari's phone site layout actually.. which is also nice) with a pretty sleek theme.

Also picked up some admin comments concerning a digg style of activity in the news items.. about time too... Not saying exactly what I heard.. Dela knows which post I saw and remembered XD

Please tho guys.. not too much flash.. I hate the buggy proprietary stuff.. and it sucks up bandwidth and allowances for people who are increasingly having monthly data caps enforced by the greedy isp's
It also causes major problems with slowdown and errors when it doesn't load properly.. photobucket is a prime example of badly written java/flash where it doesn't need to be.

Agreed, I like how afterdawn looks & works. My only complaint is that the forum search defaults to google.
