Suggestion 1: Just a thought, but it would be nice with a RSS feed with recently posted torrents.

Suggestion 2: Update/extend the the FAQ, put the rules there for an example (also clarify if licensed stuff is ok, even thought there is already a thread about this I still dont know if it's yes or no).
Explain what MEMBER / VIP / DONOR is, how to become on, and what it means to be one. example: the 30 post rule = member = you can request stuff, vip = contributor = what? (should someone try to become one to get some "extra godies"? etc)
Would also be nice to know what all the people with custom "descriptions" are.
Explain how the download / upload stats works (explain if the user behind a firewall/router the BT-client and the firewall/router needs to be configurated for the stats to work properly).

I'm sure there's more to put into the FAQ, I think it looks a little bit thin at the moment.

We just turned on RSS. It can be used like this
http://www.hongfire.com/forum/external.php?type=rss&forumids=xx
where the Xs are replace them with the id number for the forum you would like to subscribe too

Ok, nice.
Don't want to sound ungratefull but is there a possibility to get a RSS feed from
"http://www.hongfire.com/forum/torrents.php?" ?
Also, a tip is to make it so that firefox notices the RSS feed possibility and show the RSS-Feed Live bookmark button. (use firefox and visit slashdot for an example, look for the RSS button in the lower right corner)
Forgot; the RSS feed should also be mentioned in the FAQ ;)
btw, I really like this board system, a lot of nice, fun and quite advanced features.
