Forgive me if this has been discussed recently, the idea just came to me when i returned to the boards after a week's hiatus.
The fact is that the front page of AI is dead. Even if the admins have some stories planned, the impression given to new visitors is that the site is stale. Ironically, behind the stale front lurks a vibrant message board community.
I worry, however, that we are losing potential new members who are turned away by the cobwebbed front page.
I think it would be a great idea if the message boards were made to be the official focus of the site, with rumor articles, if/when any appear, being linked, as a sort of 'bonus' for the message board users. A 'value added' message board site, so to speak.
What do people think?
