Did Talonman forsee our currect downfall

Are any of these things really serious issues? When I get a spare hour I can go through and get them all knocked off.

1. gaming networks aren't displayed in profiles
2. search function doesn't work
3. badges not being updated
4. gamedatabase linkage with gamewise being wonky
5. Adding ways to search all users ( for example an extra box to select or deselect users with profile pictures)
6. more analysis tools for free users ( gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6041612 )
7. No proper explanation for why we have embed, param and object tags, neither how use it.
8. No proper support for special characters on wall messages
9. No mobile version of the site
10. The "<" glitch that hides everything after it's posted
11. The PM glitch where if you post a ' in the title the user cannot respond to it.
12. Not necessarily a site glitch, but we should bring edit stamps back. These bring clarity on whether a user has edited his/her post.
13. Streamlining the forum by removing unnecessary points and badges or implementing a use for them (hint : prediction league)
14. Very annoying mobile adverts, and randomly opening play store
15. General discussion doesn't show up in the hot  topics.

TalonMan gave up a huge amount of his time to work on the site and develop new features and he is definitely missed - no doubt about that - but using the list of minor bugs above to say that VGChartz is in a "downfall" makes no sense. I'd love to have TalonMan or someone else I could trust who could work on fixing bugs and adding new functionality here and there but unfortunately that is hard to come by...

If I may add a few items to that list:

• An automatic quote tree cut feature for when folks try to quote more than one person. Quote trees have a way of getting out of control here (and people don't take the time to cut them themselves)
• Any way to help against spambot infestations is key. Whether it be removing the ability to comment in older VGChartz articles (this is where they spam their ads all of the time) or update the actual registration qualifications to help guard against spambots. Anything would be awesome.

That's all I got.
