Yes...
As for the notepad, it's not that good idea to organize things. But for some people it's faster and smarter to make 1 click and get to your to do list or to things you have forgotten, like some links to sites, and so on. Anyways, I have removed that 'obsolete' feature sometime ago.
Calendar, is the most important feature on most forum sites. How would you see other members' birthday? Does Windows calendar allow you to view that? Do you see holidays in windows calendar? Can you post an event to specified day using windows calendar? NO. Calendar on forum site is just for that. It's not for 'aha, tomorrow is 20th December'. Yeah, you're right, for that is windows or linux calendar. How should have I called it, if not calendar? It shows days, holidays, birthdays... Maybe a 'Site events, birthdays and holidays viewer'? The user would have though 'WTF?' then. Calendar is the most simple.
But hey, you should start to fill in the whole forum, place some links on likewise sites and try to run this more...
Are you blind, or what? I'm trying as I can. I'm making themes in the night so users can have some fun. The most interesting thing on websites is the template, or theme. More effects, good colors and lightweight are the most important things.
I'm getting users, look on our Member chat if you don't believe - I have chatted with Daniel and Tom a bit. I have HUGE conversations with Tom on yahoo about site features and how to get more visitors, how to make the site more interesting.
I'm registering on sites like HotScripts.com, Programmers Heaven, programming related forums etc. I'm creating scripts so I can post them on the popular script sites, and leave a link to us with the script.
Maybe you are all asking 'How are we going to become a large community?'. Well, you're asking the right question. Take a look at the popular sites like programmingtalk.com and so on. How did THEY become so large communities? Well, like we. First friends registered, then in months of work, they started getting visitors by search engines, links to them from other sites and so on. Every site starts like that. We're not an exception.
