I'll probably get yelled at for this, but maybe some forum signatures? I always found it fun to make some stuff up, and sometimes even helpful when people post commonly used FAQs, guides, and other stuff in their signature.
I'm a sucker for recognition, so maybe some sort of badge or "achievement" system for leveling? I see a lot of people on here with thousands of posts and I think it would be cool to have a "Call of Duty-esque" symbol next to your name. Hell, let us prestige to 0 posts! (lol)
Last one, karma. I know the moderators see a variation of this, but I would love to see a "like" button (without the obvious Facebook integration) so we can hide spammy posts, threads, and etc. Kind of like how Youtube handles it. I think it would also be neat to have a stand-alone conversation in the forums when responding to a specific post. What I mean is, if I respond to a post on the first page, my post is integrated under that person (after clicking an expansion button) instead of ending up on the 4th page.

User-made guides need to be more prominent, much more so. I would love our guide sections to begin to rival other sites, but its always just been so out of the way.
This as well. Hell, even knowing the guides section exists, I completely forget to check it out when I'm looking for one.
