Now you made some GREAT suggestions! (I'm glad you're paying attention! he he)
Let me address them one-by-one...

| A download section, complete with picture and poster images, wallpapers, specifically SS site designed and created wallpapers that have SS title or logos, so that members can display on their desktops their love for SS. Mutimedia, video or sound clips. HP related fonts (I know they're out there, I have several myself). HP screensavers, and specially an SS screensaver. HP and SS avatars, buddy icons, ect. |
Love it!
The "problem" is that downloads are very server-intensive and demand a lot often creating high loads which can slow down a site. This is of course dependant on the size of the downloads, and most of what you mentioned can be relatively small in size (no bigger than what the image gallery offers at least). The exception would be the "multimedia" because we had it when we first started out (two years ago) and were forced to take it down. Then we offered clips from the film, segments of the audio books, mp3's from the soundtrack, etc. I would love to add such things but WB didn't like it too much.
Wallpapers, AIM icons, fonts, screensavers, etc. can definitely be done. We'll add a
Download section to the to-do list.

| An SS Store where members can buy HP and SS site promotional products, T-shirts, hats, mugs, posters, pens, pencils, keychains, figures, HP toys or other products, the books, videos, DVD's, ect. ect. ect.... |
This is on the way. It's been on the list for a while. We just have a few things ahead of it. Still 2-3 weeks down the road though. Wish it could be sooner. :-/

| An off topic fanart gallery for non-HP related art, although there is probably little hope of that one, because we used to have one, very briefly, but apparently it wasn't a very popular or highly accepted idea and was quickly deleted. |
We had one (like you say) breifly but two or more of the staff (Admins) didn't want it because of all the "suicidal" and immature stuff that was getting added. I love the idea of promoting art and creativity, but we need to try to limit it some how.
We may come back to this (if there is enough interest) but if we do there will be some stricter rules and guidelines as to what can be included.
We want this to be an uplifting place, not a depressing meloncholy pit-of-dispair.

| A games section, other then the forum games (Zonko's), that has a few flashplayer type interactive games or trivia quizes. |
I love this idea, and I love making Flash games (or Flash
anything!).
The problem is that making good games requires a lot of time, and though Squally and I are both proficient in Flash (probably Squally more than me), there are so many things to do it's hard to find the time to make some games.
I will definitely keep this on the shelf though, and hopefully we can add some cool stuff to the games section.
Thanks for the great suggestions!
I'm only here to serve.
