10 The site's very good - the only thing I would like to see is an official "mythbusters" (or area within their official news ) thread, where they put rumors to rest and give us the lowdown on DLC delays, or other issues, and put rumors to rest before they even get started.

There's a mobile add-on for vBulletin, but it was an extra $200 to add to the cost of the forum software, so I didn't purchase it.

Understandably!
I emailed Norm @ Farsight this morning to ask if they would like to support the forum, seeing as its the officially sanctioned one.
Doesn't seem fair you footing all the forum costs.
Have to see what they come back with!

Well, I went into this knowing I'd be the one footing the bills. I'll be having a Kickstarter for it soon (kidding!)

I think there might be some free mobile themes for vbulletin. It's been awhile since I looked, but I know there used to be.

That's a really good idea. Shall I ask Bobby if he'd be willing to do it?

I would like to see animated gif avatars allowed here. While sometimes they can be gaudy, I don't see anyone here getting crazy with it. I've got a nice one I'd like to use that's both relevant to pinball and very small. I would have had an avatar on day one if this were allowed. Allow us to be creative!! =D

I want to thank everyone for their feedback thus far, it really helps to see what members think about the forum and what can be done to improve the overall experience. I'm glad to see all the positive feedback considering the forum has only been up and running a little over 3 months. Keep the feedback and suggestions coming!

Right now there's a listing for each table, but those include mostly bug reports. It might be useful to others to have members write reviews of the tables or maybe give a little history behind the tables.

More direct from FarSight. more direct from them about what's upcoming, their level of notice taken to the wants, and bug fix needs of the community. I know they're busy, but I hope they at least know everyone wants White Water, Fish Tales, Getaway, etc. and that even those of us who love TPA on 360 are getting pretty tired of waiting for tables and fixes (okay, I KNOW they know that one).

Maybe a NOOBS guide for new members ? I had to google a few acronyms used on this site, including, embarassingly when I first came here "TOTAN" before I realised that everyone refers to the tables this way. Maybe explaining some of the techniques like they do on ipdb, but here as well.
