I think a fly in a spider's web could do better, but where did I say I could to start with?

No offence taken IF you change my rating to "Grumpy old man". Speaking of Radix and click sites, Radix had a pretty solid concept for a more grownup version of TDC, but it never really got off the ground somehow. I myself like TDC and don't intend to make it to higher grounds or anything. Most elite clickers hate me anyway and I dislike the way they make games. I seem to be the Willie Nelson of click now.
Perhaps it's coz i ain't been a member for long, but i have no problems with this site. Though if i was to suggest improvements, they would be;
1. A new colour scheme every so-many months, just to frreshen it up a bit. And drop Mitch, or atleast that picture of him - make him a proper character, give him a personality and let him make funny comments. Try and give the site a little more humour (but obviously don't offend anyone!)
2. More compos, and more dedication from the site for them. Pablo is doing a fantastic job, yet his compo is being run through the Boards section. Make it headline news for this site and lets have more prizes, no matter how small or crappy. Everyone likes winning something, especially if it's promoted well and looks attractive. More coverage means more interest means more competition means a sweeter victory!
3. KlikCast = fantastico! Let's expand on this ideas though, let's have short video stories on the front page every few days. These could be reviews made and posted in by some extra 'Review Admins' or maybe a 'demo of the week'. How about a video of the latest GOTW? More media would bring the site up to modern day standards!
4. And new T-shirts please! Remember Sky 1's GamesWorld? Remember the GamesWorld jacket? No? Well a video is included at the bottom of this reply. Why not have a special T-shirt for GOTW winners? Make a new design/colour every 6 months or so to vary it a bit and keep interest fresh. Doesn't have to be expensive, just unique and something to aim for!
These are just a few ideas and a tip of what's cooking in my brain. And also, we gotta sort out the finance of this site coz i noticed the limit of donated funds is drawing closer. I donate every month but i cannot afford to run this site and i doubt anyone else can either, especially since most guys on here seem to still be in education.
why dont the admins just post ANYTHING on the news page that has to do with click or indie games?
this was a topic before i think but if we accept ANY game even non-click games, why arent we just another indie game site? we should stay focused on promoting click since we ARE pretty much the only mainly active click site, but why not post more news about whats going on in the indie scene. grab some news from other sites like tigsource, indiegames, etc.
not to mention the much needed site overhaul in php. instead of suggesting fixes for certain areas and implementing them as they come. do a complete overhaul. redo everything and implement it as a completely new infrastructure.
i agree that admins that arent active should be removed of their powers so more capable people can take over and help the site continue at a steady pace. or at least add more admins. redistribute the power if you will.
All very good points. Here is the catch, The Daily Click was build from the ground up. The site features you have now were not here 5 years ago, the site has indeed evolved lots over the years.
From earning dc points to in the future making the site in full php it will happen but it is going to take a while. Club is really into his regular paying job now and does not have lots of time right now. We did discuss lots of cool new features for the site but he needs to clear some time to do them.
