I agree about the IotD (if you recall, I felt very weird about posting there in the first place because it's always been a sacred part to me - and even when I do start a thread there, I try to stick to your naming conventions). I don't mind seeing the images, but they kind of detract from the whole "Image of the Day" thing. I think we should break it down like

Images -> Image of the Day, as selected by Undertoad
          -> User-submitted
          -> Photoshops

Now, this kinda detracts from my ability to put images in the Image of the Day forum, as I have been known to do from time to time. But that's alright, I guess, 'cause I can always stick 'em in user-submitted.

I'm not sure I really dig the idea of voting on images and whatnot. But I'm not really sure that I'm against it, either. It could go either way, I guess. I see it as being a pain in the ass to implement and work with, but it might also be cool to get the "good" images voted up. Doesn't really matter to me simply because I read every post on the Cellar anyway. But I know some people don't. So whatever, I guess.

Cities is a good idea. One forum in the Main section with cities underneath it. However, I can see there being a problem wherein duplicate unpopular cities get listed - i.e., someone creates one for Des Moines, no one posts to it for a while, it's off the display by default, and another one gets created later. Can we make it so that, by default, all forums ever created are displayed there? It's kinda hard to work the whole "Cities" thing anyway, but it's here and we oughta adapt. I dunno. You tell me.
