Alright everyone, here is the deal. Whether it is believed or not, I want to make MTGUniverse a site and forum where you guys can do what you want, and have fun. That is basically why I am starting this thread. Every once in awhile, I like to get some feedback, so this is what I am going to attempt to do here.
If you would, please answer the following:
1. What do you feel that MTGUniverse as a whole, or myself have done wrong?
2. What do you feel that MTGUniverse as a whole, or myself have done well?
3. What could I do to improve MTGUniverse for you personally?
4. What types of features would make you enjoy MTGUniverse more?
5. Is there anything you could suggest to aid me in accommodating #3 and #4 on this survey?
If you guys could answer, that would really help me out in improving things based on what you want. After all, everyone here is the most important asset of this site.
Thanks alot guys.

The admin is either a god with HTML or is using tricks I can't recognize. -_°_- The front page looks better than at most other forum sites I've been to put together (Exception: wotc).

I'm honestly not exactly sure how to explain this, but something about MTGUniverse sort of puts me off; like there's not enough random discussion not relating with magic going on. You know what I mean? But other than that, couldn't think of anything. Front-Page/Forum have the same look, maybe?
I agree with budget about not enough outside talk. I have to go to other forums to discuss other interests of mine. It's there a bit in the padded walls, but it doesn't count towards your post count, and most of our members don't even post there.
All in all, it's a beautiful site with wonderful members and I've rarely had issue. The only problem for me is that outside things aren't discussed enough.. That and custom decks, not enough members post them or help tweak them.
Thanks for everything Chris!
Oh yeah, just noticed one more thing-no favicon outside the forum. Just FYI. Also, the favicon is kinda ugly, I would make it a smaller version of that sun-planet thing you use as a banner.
EDIT: NOW I REMEMBER! The smileys! They are kinda awful, IMO.

Someone is being helpful. :/
2. Card and deck contests have been a lot of fun.
3. More contests or more frequent contests. I know this may be difficult if there is not enough interest, but so you know, I'm interested and will participate in every contest I see.
maybe you could put in more subsections in padded walls like one for video games and one for music. Also, and this isn't directly your fault but, we have to get the drafts going again. It looked like it was going to happen and then the clock thing was screwed up.
I think splitting padded walls would just make matters worse - that is, we'd have a bunch of very empty forums. Maybe not, though. Maybe it might give us some more incentive to share things from outside here, as I have done with some of my song lyrics
I agree that live drafting, if we can get it working again, definitely has the potential to make this a more worthwhile experience. It's been loads of fun the few times I've done it here, and very disappointing when it hasn't gone off. Obviously some more organized system is needed in order to get this happening more often, but I'm not sure what to offer in this regard at the moment.
I have actually felt the same as alot of you about general conversation for awhile. I think having one forum for all of it generally puts people off.
I am going to make changes based on these surveys though, and hopefully more cater to you guys, because I think that is very important. If not for everyone posting here, MTGU has nothing. I want to cater as much as I can to you, and make MTGU somewhere you want to be.
That is basically the purpose of this. So if any of you have posted and feel you want to further elaborate on something, feel free, you will be helping me, and hopefully, in turn, helping to make MTGU better for you.
Thanks alot guys.
