Forum Clean-up?
I think that the mods should really bust their butts on cleaning up the messy forums here, I mean, just look at all the meaningless topics here, then compare this forum with that of [b]Bricksinmotion.com[/u] (<== copy and paste underlined, since I'm a "new scratcher", I can't post url links). Just look at how clean and friendly the community is there.
Another thing that really needs to be enforced here is the maximum size of sigs here (if there even is one here). The oversized sigs and .gif images are really distracting, n00bish, and just plain annoying.
I think everyone here can and more importantly SHOULD help out to cleaning this forum.
PS: I know this fits better in the "Misc." section, but I can't post a topic there for some reason, I'm guessing because my status is "New Scratcher".

Re: Forum Clean-up?
Actually, I think it might fit better in "Suggestions" since it pertains to improving the website (I'll move it when I get some other mod stuff done 
)
Us mods try to do our best to clean out some stuff, but the forums are a pretty big place (and right now I'm the only one on!) - so stuff sometimes get overlooked. So it's important that users use the report button (moving topics, reporting large signatures, etc.) when a mod's attention is needed top the problem get's fixed quickly.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Re: Forum Clean-up?
If you need extra help, I have quite a bit of forum experience.

It isn't so much help as it is people have a tendency to overlook using the report button (there are so many times where someone will post a comment saying "Mod, move this topic", or "mod, close this topic", etc.), which is typically a problem among more younger members who might not be too familiar with how a forum works. Using the report button is something to be encouraged. ^^;

Unfortunately, yes. New Scratchers have some restrictions (see here).
