1. I feel that the mods should clean things up by first by changing the first page with the forums/classifieds/etc links and then having to scroll past the ads(

) to the active topics which seems rather redundant because we can skip it. Make it so we immediately go to the forums, where the traffic goes anyways and allow us to view everything immediately upon entering.
A GREAT example is
this wonderful site. Just take a look at how it flows and you'll get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
2. removing duplicate threads about stuff that is already answered in another thread or stickying resolved threads altogether with the resolutions in front so people don't have to dig dig dig through BS.
3. I'd be willing to do some light moderation provided there is some set rules for both the people
and the mods as regardless of authority, we are people and get a bit tizzy about some things and may or may not act appropriately. Preventing mods who are actively engaged in a heated/controversial discussion from engaging their modly administrative powers and having someone else facilitate would be awesome imo.
Just some suggestions
