cool by me;
Allow me to clear my throat and begin once more.
Ahem.
"Chill the fuck out, put me on ignore, it's over your head Mr. monkey boy."
There now, all better.
one of the worst things about thumped; the completely redundant ellipsis when it's a four page thread.

All of this has been said already, but to reiterate, I'd love it if you would:
cut down on the number of forums/subforums;
ditch all the widgets;
you mean the last.fm / goodreads stuff?kill the image sigs.
just coming back to this now - the speed on creativeireland is probably a lot to do with the fact that it's gone very quiet, but it's a nice pared back look.

i was only messin'. it was fine as it was.there are only two alternatives - turn off the page links entirely (which i've just done), or show every single one of them, which is no good for 100 page threads
*All* sigs must die

The Thumped fav.ico looks like a piece of toast.
On thumped.com, the reviews/interviews/upcoming event/etc (all the blog type entries) need to be gutted. The only things that need to be shown are subject, timestamp (just day would be nice)/author/a nice looking unobtrusive lite-weight social sharing button (I don't care how many people have liked or tweeted an article, just give me the functionality to broadcast it).
Clean up the font too.
Get rid of everything else: date modified/related items/more by this author, print/email button/font size changer/tags/published in/etc/etc.
Get rid of latest posts/threads widget from homepage.
Also, remove the little circle detail above the sections, it gives the illusion that there's more content available by selecting the others
[edit: fix the cookie bug on thumped.com vs. thumped.com/bbs]
Get rid of widgets (last.fm/goodreads) from signature. Force character limit on signatures (there's probably something already, 140 chars would be ideal, tweet size). Ban images from ever appearing in signatures.
Get rid of everything inside the red box:
Gig Announcements forum needs to be sorted by date of gig and not by thread posted date (or user last post within a thread).
More forum templates, minimalist ones / bloated ones / ones that look like you're doing important work, etc. Up sell them to entice subscribers.
Increase number of posts per thread page (I automatically bump it to the max which is 40 here) but I'm guessing a lot of people aren't aware of this option. Default logged out thumped seems to be 10 which I think is too small.Bump to 20.
