I would like to give a thought on the new image in the header. I think this look is suspiciously close to another web site Bonsai Nut. Now they say that the sincerest form of flattery is imitation. I think in this case it does not help establish BonsaiChat.net's own identity. A image up in that great big open space is a wonderful thing. I think the powers that be need to rethink what should go there and that it is fresh and original.
Just some thoughts to contribute to this great site as it evolves. BTW: if you do keep the present image you might consider sharpening the image.
