I think one possible idea to improve the forum would be to have less massive mega-threads for every single topic. Just take a look at the first page of the Off-Topic Forum right now, most of the threads are thousands and thousands of posts long on topics that are pretty all-encompassing (Politics, Science, Travel).
Personally I find it quite annoying to discuss and contribute to current events when you might have to slog through a dozen pages of bickering and in-fighting that resulted from the previous dozens of pages before you can even find the topic you were looking to comment on.
Lets normalize making new threads again!
