Welcome, Brandon
For the past several months I have been tasked on-and-off with redesigning LiquidThreads (LQT), which is a next-generation discussion system.
I was really thinking that the discussion pages should be redesigned because they are very cold!!
For a start, I think that "discussion" is a word that shouldn't exist in the vocabulary!! :)
Will you tell us something more about LQT??
