As a newbie to the site, I love the overall atmosphere, and the modified Vbulletin layout.

But there are a few things that frustrated me with the board, and I'm a veteran Vbulletin user, in fact own and run my own forums on another auto site. (see sig)

1.) So seeing this enormous list of separated forums is way too much. It would take me months to get used to where to look for info. For the least traffic forums, they should be combined into others. It's very confusing, especially for newbies to the board, and newbies to Mini's. That list needs to be about HALF of what it is now. I just checked and counted 77 forums, not including the categories themselves!!!

2.) The gallery should not be sorted by username. I could care less what their username is if I'm looking for a car. It should be sorted by something more useful such as color or model of the Mini in question. Many people's primary photo is something other than their car, so I don't know what I'm looking at until I open it. It's a waste of time. The gallery is a good concept, but frustrating to use as it is.

3.) There's no mention of who created the site, it's history, founders, etc... It would be cool to know who's behind all this stuff, and give them proper credit.
