I have a few requests for additions to this forum.
1. There is an 'unvote' modification script available at vBulletin.org that allows a user to remove their vote from a poll. I think this would be very useful for demographic type vote questions. It would allow the user to change their vote for long term polls.

2. One of the only things CFL has that RPF doesn't is some type of weblog. vBulletin has a blog module that you can install that allows users to have blogs.

3. Another thing that CFL does have that could be implemented generically with custom profile fields is the ability to search for and display members based on state/county/district/precinct/ward.

4. I watched a demo video about the vBulletin project tools. It also does pretty much anything we'd need as far as running small projects, including collaborating on web sites and grass roots action, assigning tasks/bugs/features, time-tracking, etc.

Now if you made these minor upgrades, which I'm sure wouldn't get much use at first, I think that you'd have a more robust system than CFL. And I might actually be willing to pay an annual subscription depending on how privileges/administration rights were set up.
That's another thing I'd like to open for discussion. How should we deal with social networking service providers in the context of what we're trying to accomplish? Do we try to contract with them as a group, as individuals?
I know most everyone like Josh is cool, but some of these operators are just interested in traffic.
Anyway, others might have ideas of what they'd like on the forum, but I'm hoping to get a response to these four items.
