Forums As Homepage - Lets Beef

**Just C** · #1 07-03-2012, 04:39 PM

I brought this up In a thread a while back about how we should make the sites homepage the Forums. (Even if just for a trial period)

I personally never check the homepage. Not for as long as I can remember. You could change it to an announcements page and still keep the LB TV there, but just make the forums the main page as soon as and w.e you log in.

This will increase forum activity, competitions ect and just make the place more of a community.

I've been checking the audio battles section and most of them people I never even heard of. They Have the same people voting on their shit. they never check the forums.
And probably pm the crap out of each other to get votes.

What I propose is.

Have the Forums as the automatic homepage.

And place the following lounges like so.

People will be more inclined to introduce them selves and mingle with other members.

And I will be less cluttered.

Let me know what you guys think.

Co-signing this. Will make the forums much more active.

Honestly, changing the homepage to reflect the forums is not as huge an issue to me as changing the fact that the site automatically refreshes every 15 minutes to the audio tab. <----This supposedly is responsible for a bulk of battle glitches, particularly for text battlers. If some homepage changes would somehow incorporate that, then I'm all for it.
