I've always wanted to see Mooga integrated with TC somehow. I used to do some webmasterin' in another life and used frames quite a bit to avoid opening lots of tabs and windows (Humu does use frames in Mooga btw). In fact, using something like frames could bring in Ooga-Mooga, Critiki, Humu Kon Tiki, HH, some sites that could be revived and reactivated. But it would probably have to be flexible enough to stay as-is for those not interested in other sites/pages.

Another thing that's taken over the web in the past couple of years is the endless vertical scrolling (a la Google results and Facebook). It takes more resources but the world lives by it now. No more paging through results, more is simply added as you scroll down. But threads would have to be reversed (like Facebook with last entries first) or configurable through search options like Google.

As to updating Ooga-Mooga itself, a rundown of tiki ceramics for sale on eBay, Etsy, Tiki Farm, et al (kinda like a Google search) would again reduce creating tabs and windows. I'm amazed at how non-tiki people refer to O-M for pricing their mugs. It's the #1 resource out there.
