If Etjen wants to make this site work and not die, here's what I suggest and what may work from previous experiences. (you're welcome etjen).
Site layout:
I know some users love the retro feel, I do too, but I just think after so long, some improvements could be made, maybe switching up the colors a bit bc vp does seem a bit bland and boring. Maybe adding something like a toggle between a new layout and old layout would work so users can choose which they'd like? I'm not sure if dark mode is a thing here but that could be added, bc ouch, my poor eyes. The wardrobe needs darkmode too.
Some icons are pretty dull and basic, like the currency icons, some other icons around the site could do with a fresher look like the wheel of fortune icon and stuff
Forums:
Adding the ability to like / react to a forum. It may seem pointless but it's just fun?
Other stuff:
Pronouns bar, I know users would appreciate this, making a drop down box with a list of pronouns. I've seen cases of people putting insensitive things in pronoun boxes, best way to avoid it is just to have a drop down list.
Another suggestion is that I think that the avatars should be unisex, that way there's no issue for creating items for a female or male base, as we know that males are always getting a lack of items. I know this would mean revamping the catalogue and potentially just scrapping all the current clothes or redesigning them.
Copyrighted items should ideally be removed if this website is gonna be for revenue, there's a lot of characters from various media and band tees that needs to be removed otherwise , idk, suing could happen.
New minigames would be nice too, the games we currently have are looking like its from 2005 and im not vibing with it.
