Kinda like vbulletin. 
And could you arange the cell colors in the subscriptions like in a forum?
The forum could also use an email function: there is an email link under the post next to the 'PM' link, and if it is clicked, you are taken to a form that u use to email that user.
The forum could use some new smilies too, because they are the smilies from phpbb, and sadly some peeps (I won't mention their names) in wbb community have dissed fud about it. I'll make the totaly unique but apropriate, and hopefully have them ready for you tomorrow or the day after
Thanx.

I have an idea that would affect the handling of private forums. Currently u define the access with the group manager. So once a forum is restricted u still can see what it is about (because categories and "last post by" are shown). How about adding a simple private forum option which would once activated would show nothing more but the login prompt with the site's logo? I think this would be a useful feature, because even unexperienced users would soon get to a result. Besides, it's an good idea to make forums really private in the sense that no one has an idea what it is about. I could imagine this as an option u can choose in the Admin Control Panel when u set the properties of ur categories and forums. Another enhancement could be to extend the current ignore list to kind of a killfile. For instance u could not only filter login names but postings if they match to regular expressions u define. Makes sense if u want to ignore Anonymous troll postings.
Maybe I have some more ideas later on.

By making the forum hidden you will effectively hide the forum from view. Seeing the name of a forum or a last poster won't really disclose any meaningful info to the person who does not have access to the forum.
I'll see what it would take not to show forums & last post ids of the forums people do not have read access to.
One thing you've mentioned which is pretty interesting IMHO is to add the ability to ignore all anonymous posts. Currently that is impossible to do and I think it could be a most useful feature for a forum that allows anonymous posting.
As for filtering messages based on their content, that would require too much realtime regex on every message and quite frankly I do not belive that is a very meaningful feature.
We already have a "word filter" that would permit the admin to have certain words replaced if they find those words in appropriate. So there is a way to block certain words/expressions already.

Ok, these weren't really necessary features, I just thought of some other forums (guess which ones ) who offer this "simple" switch. The second item was inspired by newsgroups, who often suffer with useless troll posts. But u re right, I forgot that php regexp would slowdown performance, so after all it may not be that useful.

So, if you have any suggestions for improvments, requests for new features etc... make'em now before its too late

Ok!
I don't know if this could easily be done, but here goes:
Something that I would like to see included is a bit of code that one could put on another page (like a site's homepage) that would allow the display of a few lines from the most recent or most popular posts. This would really set FUD apart from the rest!
Also:
How about being having FUD keep track of the posts that a user hasn't read yet, like on vBulletin? We can view today's posts, etc., but I think it is more useful for the forum software to keep track in case you miss a few days worth of messages. Is there a way to do that now that I'm missing?.

Tom if you click on the "Unread Posts" you'll see ALL your unread posts.

Where's that new blush smiley? 
Ok, so how about that first suggestion?

There is a manual prune feature, I think an auto-prune feature would be a dangerous thing to have. Since a simple mis-configuration can cause in permanent loss of valuable data.
Of course you need to consider why are you prunning messages? Unlike in other board which had introduced the prunning feature, there are little to no performance gain achived by removing old messages.
