I like the NSFW website. Clean and simple. That old
vB forum look is so klunky and yesteryear.
Keep it slick, quick, flexible, and full of Ajax.
System needs to be modular and employ modern standards. Plugins for all the latest social media sites. Be nice to allow themes and then get a few professional theme designers on board (like Woothemes). I'm happy to pay a few extra bucks for a professionally designed look. Finally, separate the theme from the code so that system upgrades do not require touching all the custom mods.
SEO is a must...maybe work with the
vbSEO guys to let them sell a plugin. They're the experts.
A nice to have would be a plugin for Picasa so we could upload from Picasa to the gallery, like Picasaweb.
