I think the forums in general are off to a great start! I'm really glad to see so many people participating in discussions and sharing views and ideas. I do have a few ideas and issues though:

I'd like to see more Dev-posts and interaction with the community. I realize that the majority of the team is on the Japanese side, but I'd like to know we're being heard (even just a little!)

I cannot read Japanese, and I won't gain that skill anytime soon, so to see some translated posts regarding certain ideas or in response to really good questions or comments would be huge for myself and many others!

The addition of Polls would be nice too, so viewers can quickly size up how the community feels about certain ideas or views. The players poll's serve largely the same purpose, but I personally always feel like there are items being left out, or good solutions are not listed as an option!

Note: My heart goes out to those affected by the earthquake in Japan. Obviously I know these forums are probably not the highest priority to those living there. I don't mean to make any unreasonable requests or offend those people.
