Here's an idea: (Slightly) Larger avatars!
Done. Re-upload for it to take effect.
I suggest the vizioneck be split and moved to the top of the page. The split would be website feedback, and moderation feedback which could go into a feedback section at the bottom of the page. After the site is 60-75% completion change primary topic 1 "Let's design it together" to "Site News" and lock 'em down. Further suggestions, at that point in time for the forum/website should be directed to the appropriate section.
Also perhaps it would be nice to create a multimedia section for discussing music, movies, anime, comics?...
So the top section would have stuff about designing the forum, and the bottom would be feedback?
