A constitution basically describes the powers, limits and the relationships between the main arms of government, (Executive, Legislature and Judiciary), although it seems to me that all three arms of "government" at EoFF are the same thing: The forums staff. So if a EoFF Constitution was to exist, it would therefore have to define the staff's powers over the regular members, which seem to me to be infinite as far as the forums go - currently they can theoretically do anything they want. If you wanted a Constitution then you would actually have to define and decide upon giving them definite powers.
I could propose a number of constitutional reforms for EoFF, such as the separation of powers between the three arms of "government" and elected staff, but I really think those are unnecessary changes and everyone will just say "It's only the internet" (Don't blame me for such craziness, I'm a Politics student who pays attention in class
