Does anyone have any FUN programs for users?

I realize this question sounds stupid.....but I feel like my website needs MORE but I dont know WHAT.

www.midwestwakeboarder.com

Things I might have in mind are more utilization of media or user interactivity. I am very short on vision but I just feel like the site is "lacking content" and articles is not what I mean.

Any fun programs or modules I have never heard of?

Any ideas?

While I appreciate your posts, I dont think these would be programs you would suggest for my users if you review tbe current state of my website.

I am stuck and looking for ideas from someone who knows the ins and outs of xoops, which I do not.

Maybe to better phrase I am looking for ideas on how to "spruce up" my site.

Thanks in advance..

Looking at your site, I'd say you've already done a very good job.

It's really difficult to suggest enhancements when it's not clear what you want to enhance.

Are you wanting games?
Are you wanting a "hot or not" page?
Are you wanting to post videos?
Are you wanting social media features?

This is where being a webmaster takes a personal approach. You have to tap in to your audience and get a feel for what they want. Once you have that, you are empowered with the knowledge needed to seek out the code that will give them the experience they are asking for.
Insanity can be defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

Stupidity is not a crime. Therefore, you are free to go.

I cant take credit for the site, graphic worx has done 99 percent of the work.

I have always felt like it is missing "something".

Things I think would help:

I would love to showcase MORE and BETTER media....but I do not know what XOOPS is capable of doing for me.

I would love to utilize more social interaction/networking type things like you mentioned above.

I am proud of what we have done, but I just dont know what else we CAN do.

I genuinely appreciate any ideas any of you have, and J, the questions you asked shows me you may have ideas related to those things, any in particular?

GW is installing myprofile and the marquee module tonight, any other ideas?

I think I found a game I might add....but that is about it.

More critique is encouraged, how can I give users MORE so they come back MORE.
