I try to evaluate every potential change according to whether it adds or subtracts value from the member experience, mostly readers but also posters. For example, TalkBoard member jackal tirelessly promoted the idea of in-thread Wikis until one day Internet Brands surprised us with a full implementation. Improvements like this may seem to come out of the blue, but most of the time someone has been working on the concept for quite a while.

As I mentioned in Question 3, I am encouraging Internet Brands to set up a Wiki framework which will allow all FT'ers to contribute and edit long-lived reference material. Like Wikipedia, the material will have tables of contents and hyperlinks, features which are cumbersome at best using per-thread Wikis.

I'll address my current pet project for TalkBoard action in Question 5.
