I beg your indulgence.

In your opinion, what 3 features should be added to the above bare-bones forum?
I ask because I want to set up an online forum for a site currently under construction and I don't want to use 3rd party code. Nor do I want to create 1mb of scripting and unnecessary complexities (for me to then maintain - lazy begger that I am)
However I do want to provide functionality that is useful or needed for/by most people.
I have the basics. What should I add? If you could advise on the top three additional features that you feel are most important, I would appreciate it. This can be anything from Avatars through Private Messaging through Search to Zip File attachments.
Thank you.
