You want simple ways to improve the site, here's one

We get loads of noobs making 2 or 3 posts in an introduction thread and then disappearing. Instead of asking them to list their favourite bands ask them to talk about them in the forum instead.

I'm not disagreeing (SP?) here or saying it's not a good idea, but when I join, I think it's good to ask the noob about themselfs a little, I always feel like I'm welcome in the community, but I agree that they should speak about music through the forums, but I feel that If I simply say "Welcome" it isn't very welcoming, and thats what I want the noobs to feel like to perhap encourage them to stay. I joined a forum once and got shit welcomes. I've been on it once since. anyhoo, I still think it's a good point your making.

Then you say 'Hello *******, tell us a bit about yourself and after you've done that feel free to go into the forums & tell us about the music you like as well'

I just read what I wrote over. I have **** grammer as it is, and I was in a hurry. What I meant, was when I join a board, I always like to feel welcome. Hence why I always welcome noobs. I'll copy and paste that sentence, and eh.. use it

. I'm having a little difficulty working out the bad word though, I guess I can use my imagination
