If we really want to take a stab at becoming relevant again and getting new blood in, I agree that we need to modernize.
Here are my suggestions:
1. There is too much clutter on the front page. Get rid of all the specific series forums and merge them into their relevant forums. Consider getting rid of Interactive Games (billy vs snakeman is pretty dead, isn't it?) and fleshing out the General section with games, music, etc., etc.
2. Moderation should be at the top under the Official Business section. If you want to be transparent, your new users need to be able to see it at a glance instead of having to scroll all the way down to the bottom.
3. Consider retiring the Rants and Iron fic subforums. If you must keep them, create an Archive section.
4. Consider making a NSFW section and getting the nsfw stuff out of the list of regular forums. Might want to think about putting it behind a registration wall as well if TFF ever moves into ad territory.
