The current mainsite database has 28 tables and weighs in at under 100 MB. The size and structure are simple as far as databases go.
Could the database structure be improved? I'm sure it could. However, I think the database structure is fairly easy to understand and maintain.
The biggest challenge is getting someone with both the skill and the free time to build a new frontend for the system. It's been hard to find someone with both of those! We've been able to splice on a few new features in recent years (new skins, post-liking, a hacks section, and so forth), although having a shiny new redesign would be optimal.

Course clear! You got a card.
