@ huntreilly25, I agree. I think some well explained tutorials that explain concepts along with some hands on exercises could be very helpful to new users.

I think this forum lacks fun. If people can come here and enjoy themselves while still keeping the purpose of a technical forum it would bring more regular users. I think some contests and challenges (such as the first person to come up with a script or program to do x) targeted at different skill levels that reward bits could make the community more fun.

I think the bits are a great idea. I think the concept should be expanded by creating more places to spend bits.

Thats my 2 cents.

I just thought of something else. I think we could create an employment section for employers to post UNIX related openings and registered users to post their resumes and send them to posted opening.

I'm not sure how technically feasible this is because I have never worked with vB but if it is, its something to consider.
