Suggestion : Site Design Change - Musicbanter Needs a Frontpage! Please Read!

It seems like quite a good idea, but I'm not sure what it'll mean for MB if it gets approved. Perhaps it'll take a substantial amount of work to do and the owners of the site will subsequently demand more from it?

Ill say the same to you as I did Tore. Anyone who is regularly posting on this forum knows who the ones are that are either taking care of spammers, starting topics/comps/events, and making reviews etc... Dont think myself and others are not grateful for the time you have put in to make this place not a boring spam filled droll mainstream music forum. Not to mention if people like you or Tore need help with something just ask for some help, there are plenty of members including myself that would be more than willing to upload comps or any other thing for a topic or thread etc...

I'm hoping that a front page would reward those who put some work and thought behind what they do on the site and thus help raise the standards here somewhat as well - and do so in a way which is only positive.

Have you even had a reply yet, tore?

This really needs to happen.

The greatest idea in the history of anything. I'd actually be inspired to stick with a journal if this were to happen.

Sorry, none so far, but .. I'm still hopeful. I'm sure Yac has forwarded the suggestion at least so it should've reached our admin.

This needs doing like a $2 lay needs crack. ALL HAIL THE FRONTPAGE SUGGESTION.

With all this talk of how downhill the site is going, I think this will really revitalize people's interest in using it. I know it's up to the Admin and Owners now, but I really want to see this happen.

Of course, thats assuming the sites going downhill. I don't think it really is.

On the other hand, the admins have always said that this is their least profitable site, and a frontpage to improve the site would make sense to stop that.
