I'm actually kind of amazed this one hasn't been posted yet. The Eve forums suck, and we all know that they suck. You can't stay logged in for any extended period of time, the search function would have been embarrassing a decade ago, and the "ingameboard" can't be read in game. I can think of half a dozen pieces of open-source bulletin board software that would dramatically improve the forums, not to mention that there's an entire site dedicated to patching the problems with the forums.
The whole "posting as characters" thing is nice, but just about everything else needs to be reworked. I'd like to see CCP do something about this, and if the CSM can bring it forward, that'd be a good start.

There's a search function? Where?
The one I'm referring to is at the top of the right sidebar on all pages. You'd think it'd search the item database and guides and stuff, but it only seems to return forum hits from about 2005. The real search function is at www.eve-search.com, of course, but as useful as Chribba is to have around, we shouldn't need third-party tools to implement a forum search algorithm worth a damn.

BTW I spoke to CCP reps and GMs at the PAX08 convention in Seattle and was told that a major rework of the forums was in progress.
Shame I had to ask in person instead of just checking the development page, eh?
