  I'm always looking for ideas on how to improve it: https://sonichq.net
  
  What would you want to see more of? (games info is something I've been thinking on how to implement - the older content is out of date which mainly lives here: https://archive.sonichq.net/newsite/games/index/, and I've figured other sites out there already cover this well)
  
  Speaking of the archive site (https://archive.sonichq.net/newsite/), is there anything there that you really wish was on the main site? At some point, the archive site might have to get taken down because it was custom-coded for a much older version of PHP (version 5) and when we eventually need to move servers, it won't be supported anymore. But I'll try to preserve it as much as I can even if some functionality is lost.

  Is it possible to keep the archive site on older servers? Maybe convert the code or simply just make it all screenshots?

  I've been having some luck downloading with a tool called httrack which will make everything into regular HTML files but it does get stuck in a couple places.

  Maybe the few spots it gets stuck, it could be converted to a screenshot? Just throwing ideas, I'm no coder(aside from .CSS), but I'm glad you're having some success.
  
  As far as ideas about content, I'll put some thought into what could be improved. Sonic HQ is awesome IMO as it is, but everything can be improved.

  More themes would be cool but it seems to me that would take a lot of work? Idk, how long does it take to theme wordpress?

  If we just swap out the CSS file without changing the template, it's not so bad.
  
  Changing all the template files for each theme can be daunting however. And it gets hard to maintain when you want to make a change and need to edit a bunch of template files (instead of just one).
  
  @ Do you run into this a lot when you're making style changes for Sonic Blast? Are there a lot of cases where you want to make a change but then find you need to edit all of the themes?

  Well each theme has its own CSS files along with their own templates. Maybe I've been doing this the hard way, maybe they can share a common template? So when I make changes to one them I have to make those changes to all of them if I feel like the other ones need it.
  
  Some themes I like to have a different layout so having separate templates is nice. After all these updates to the main theme I finally went and touched up all the others last week. Lol
