Quite a lot to read ^^
I have been thinking about our much loved special events as well, especially find my location. With the new maps and content it's even more of a challenge. A 'Special Event Activity' with it's own landing page sounds sensible to me, for most of them it would just be like a fancy shout with fancy comments. They could get something like a 'sticky' posted on top of the stream. Perhaps even just small icons showing that any of those special events is currently active?
Perhaps there could be an entire area above the stream reserved for current stuff? Pulled events might get a compact view, perhaps several of them next to each other instead of simply being on top of the stream with a box like it is now.

Btw, you can put up pictures, you just can't load them up to our server. You can however embed any directly linked image (imgur, tinypic etc.) into any shout/event/comment textarea. It should be a simple matter to make that easier to access using a button that opens a dialogue for the picture url. Uploading images is on the to-do list though, I was starting to think about installing a simple image-hosting site @ images.notjustfor.me.
Well, for logged in users, who need to have that special voucher, we could simply put that TS3 link in the sidebar. How is such a link constructed? Implementing a ts3 status should also pose no problem since it runs on the same server.
Best thing would be to open new issues for each of these suggestions, so we can discuss them and tick them off one by one :)
I've taken the liberty of asking in guildchat what people would like to see from the website tonight (I did this because it might be hard for people to be honest and critical to the people building that website) and got some interesting answers. Don't get me wrong, I don;t want to hijack the project, but we need the iinput of the users if we want it to be used.
Here's the ideas that were suggested:
That's mostly it, I'll comment on this if I get more suggestions, I'll also ask a couple more times in guildchat.
