The site is noticeably slower than most modern forums. It doesn't feel slick, new, or interactive at all. It's undoubtedly insecure. Many links and features don't work. Guides written in the mid-2000's about aspects of the site that no longer exist are still among the first things a total n00b will find.
If you take a Model T and install a luxury audio system, will that make the car run any faster? Will it make it more fuel-efficient, or more comfortable to ride in? Will it increase the engine horsepower? No...
What LB needs is a complete overhaul. Don't add any new features. Just hire a professional web design outfit to come in and create a minimalist design that does everything it needs to, but no more. I'd advocate for updating the vBulletin software, but the modifications used for things like battling and voting are so extensive that doing this is probably impossible.

agreed...
The sites not changed much since i left 6yrs ago. Im not insulting its creators or Mods, but it could do with being modernised. Im not a huge fan of it being all black either, maybe a steel blue or grey? that clean modern feel
