When I remember the good and bad times I had on a lot fo other forums, I also remembered that on all those forums you had multiple karma stages..on this forum, you have only two..so i'm suggesting some more stages..not that it would be of any use to me, because of my high post count, but it would be fun for the newer members..

sounds cool..id like to have a karma title or something besides new member and forum member..

I agree, I'm pretty new here but have lurked around here for a while and finally joined...dont know why it took so long! Anyway, they're usually pretty funny and pretty much meaningless so I dont see why not! And also I think some more/different(possibly animated) smilies should be added if possible. They usually just give the forums a nicer, more laidback kind of feel....thats my two cents anyway!
I think the smilies are fine but the karmas should be diversified! It's no fun having just two! Maybe have a border around the avatar that would change color with how much seniority you have in the forum!
I think our screennames should be different colors, still giving these forums a sophisticated look while giving seniority, like white, silver, and gold
I think things ike advanced / experienced forums member and then maybe long term forums member or maybe bronze silver and gold ratings (not coloured borders im talking about here) on names, based on the number of posts you have.
