How did you come to the conclusion that the feedback thread is not active? It's the most active thread on the board right now, with several posts coming in every day. The only inactive part about that thread is the sporadic reaction it receives from the OP.

Address your issues to Vai.The moderators have no power to change anything about forum functionality or design. In fact, the moderators have been asking for changes for more than 2 years to no avail. I recommended the feedback thread because Vai explicitly asked for feedback in that thread and will check it. Every five days, or so.

That thread also has a list of items on the member wishlist. Checking if your issue is already listed, you can easily copy the list into a new post and add other stuff you'd like see changed. That way, if things don't happen you know that they have not been missed, just ignored or postponed.
