Hey gang, I've had a chat with Pinary and have been keeping abreast of the conversation that tbh has been going on for well over a year now. We decided the first step toward implementing newer features folks were asking for would first require a forums software upgrade, so that happened back in August last year.
Unfortunately as we're all aware, doing so broken stuff all over the show (bbcode shortcuts, smilies, front page links, etc etc etc). Fixing all this stuff is not really doable through assigning more Moderators or Administrators (as admins' code-wrangling is primarily restricted to CSS and some templates). What we'd need is essentially a new webmaster.
Whoever's gonna fix this would require file and database access, which is a level of access we can't really fine-tune to make a sandbox at the likes of dodo.eagle-time.org. At this stage Pinary acknowledges he's not going to have the chunk of free time necessary to make major fixes, so if there's someone we can trust (both with Our Child and also to get fixes done in a reasonable timeframe) then we'd be willing to hand the keys over.
Given where we've been at on progress on fixing things, I'd happily pay out of my own pocket for someone to get in there and make some fixes. Pinary has backups (and can answer questions pretty promptly even if he's got no time to tinker himself), so it doesn't need to be a pro! Just someone with the know-how and time to fix things even if it's through trial and error would make faster progress than what we've got now.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
