Hi again, glad this post has proven useful.
To answer a few queries:
FORUM
Yes, we do intend to make the switch to another forum provider, as we agree this bad boy is a bit dated. It’s on the list of things to do once 3.0 is out.
SOCIAL MEDIA/COMMUNICATION WITH USERS
The power of posting to the blog and tweeting is not in my hands; it’s done at Jon’s discretion, and while I have brought my post to his attention, it has not yet made the cut. Again, increasing marketing and a stronger community management presence are future goals.
SUGGESTIONS

Contrary to popular belief, this does get read for ideas.
