In a moment of inspiration I thought it would be awesome if I clicked the emo button avatar and the 409 went into some sort of acoustic teenage drama mode.
yeah. the tagline could say: Club409 - Why Bother?

then some of the most popular threads would be 'i got turned down by another girl today' and 'remind me why i shouldn't take my life'

Multiple themes would be nice.  I'd personally like a "professional" 409 so it looks like I'm reading some tech blog at work.  It'd replace all avatars with SFW ones, have a catchy techblog tagline, and change the color scheme to something similar to msdn or stackoverflow.com.

yeah i've always wanted to make more themes.. perhaps i'll make some soon -- i'll be making some changes because i'm switching to Dreamhost (sorry, Crucial.. DH is the new hotness)
