Let me start by saying that I like the forum, and I thank the moderator and administration team for continuing to make it available for all of us.

The single biggest problem facing the forum in my opinion is that there isn't enough diversity of political opinions amongst current active members. Attracting members from all sides and of diverse opinions is critical to the health of the forum.

Here are few suggestions, that may help:

1. Control bullying in the forum. It discourages many readers and members from contributing, when they see bullying unchecked by the moderator team, because bullying doesn't always explicitly break forum rules.
2. Do not tolerate character assassination posts, and personal attacks posts.
3. Reduce the number of threads and posts overtly bashing and insulting your opponents, it discourages many followers of other parties from contributing. You certainly would never allow similar posts about your leadership or the opposition's leadership.
4. Reduce the level of "babying" of Hezbollah related issues, and Hezbollah supporters in the forum.
5. Allow threads to appear immediately, like regular posts. You can manage them later.

I will try to add more suggestions later, if I think of more...
