A Few Ideas

I have a few suggestions to make, maybe to improve the forums, or maybe diminish it into tiny crumbs.

1. You could have add forum rivals. You could add someone to your rivals list, a list of people who are your rivals, such as Gary and Ash.
   
   
2. You could set up small guilds within the forum, and have leaders, and you could inter guild championships, though you should maybe make the guildleaders experienced. This could help people help each other if they are going to win tournaments and win points and pokemon.
   
3. You could make everyone in the same in-game group, or if you go with the guild idea, guilds members join the same in-game group.
   
4. You have inter-forum championships annually with sites smaller than Smogon.com.
   
   

Hope this gave any ideas which could improve the forums.

1. we already have friends and foes so rivals would be pointless.
2. for this to work we would need more people to be active online at the same time than at the moment, but when that time comes i''ll think about it.
3. not sure about this one.
4. we already do these as we've just had a tourney sort of thing against another forum (can't remember name so Mac edit my post lol xD)

The guilds we have done and it failed miserably and whenever we get a tournament going someone that signs up always stalls on their battle.

1) If people want I can add a "Rival" option to your profile and you could write the name of whom your rival(s) are if you'd like. Other than that, friends/foes covers this.

2) We tried Clans. 90% of the forums joined the same clan...it was like 2 v 2 v 23. If we have a more active league with other members we can always re-enstate the Gym Trainers Group and Gyms can have "war" type things. As for now we need more activity to do this.

3) If everyone wants to be the same in-game group thing do it. ChimForums or something. No need to make it required or official. You can ask people to do it though.

4) Again we've tried these "forum wars" things. Poorly run and never finished.

Monkey, what we can do is have 3 Clan Leaders and do a draft.

We're actually trying the clan things out once more.

me got an idea! we could have people make guides for teams, like they just list good teams like,

fire team:
rapidash, houndoom, blah blah blah blah
water team:
blah blah blah blah blah blah

if you follow at all, I'd be willing to do it too :3
