Hi to answer your question about more features there are many things that we intend to make available to members as time goes by including live chat, Video's, etc some of the feature will be based on number of posts, post quality, and member feedback as you may or may not have noticed there is a Post count, Points count and a Karma all these will go to towards a member being able to access the various other features as they become available, but as you say you have access to other boards who may do all of this and more, I don't quite understand what you mean when you say "
There seems to be an abundance of boards available to me at this time"
but I have to agree with you that there are quite a few forums around with all sorts of content that suits all different people and those people stay or leave for various reasons? there will be those of us who are happy with the way this forum runs and its members and those they don't like it at all but its a case of horses for courses?
