question:
as everyone has probably seen, the main page hasn't been updated in quite awhile, due to lack of interest in most of the subject matter.
what would you like to see the asylum do with it? seriously.
some of you might be too new to remember that the front page used to be updated quite frequently with user's input. so let's have some now. what would interest you? what would you visit the front page to see?
disclaimer: this is not an 'official' admin question. this is just pure curiosity.

I've suggested it before: Graffiti. Bring it back.

Yes, some sort of best _______s of the week/month would be cool too.

i was thinking something along the lines of that myself. remember when we used to have to suggest points to people in the suggestions forum and such? i think we should have a suggestions thread perhaps, for posts/threads/artwork, etc, that we feel should be posted on the front page for a day or two. new people could get a look at the best (or worst) we have to offer, and older members might see something that they missed if they're gone for a day or two.

This is actually a good thread.
You all need to put your thoughts in here on this.
Understand that Morg was right, lack of interest on your part does affect what we do.
Inversely, when you all show interest, we do react (well... maybe not with the speed of hermes...).

geez guys...only two or three serious responses?
i know that alot of you guys are creative people. give us some ideas of what you think could make this site better. i mean, how many other websites do you know of that gives it's users so much control over the design, layout, etc?
personally...i still want my advice column. but i don't think it's going to happen.

Maybe you should make a flash intro, and have music, and lights, and ummm...content on the front page. Yay! Flash!

There should be a "Dear Moop" column for sure. But then who would be in charge of it?

Reminder to all asylum folks, (as far as I know) you can send in anything that you think would be relevent. (except poetry )
-I like SP's idea about Graffiti.
-I'd like morgana to do an advice column, let the people that send it in remain anonymous.
-Let Nute do a dialogue with the thumbnail pictures of famous people. That was fun as hell.
-Have the mistress-of-googledom Sphinxy, give some fun or interesting links she has found throughout the web
-WastedP with tidbits of trivia
I'll post more ideas when I don't have to go pee.

Those thumbnail conversations were so much fun. Hehehe. I remember that thread we had way back that got to be like six pages long of that stuff. Good shit.

Unless there is a "reason" or action associated with membership in the asylumn, there is no reason to have a frontpage that does anything but link to different areas of the site. Now, if like some boards I could mention the goal here was political discussion, or discussion of video games, or what-have-you then I could see having news tidbits and whatnot about current events or internal happenings among members--but I don't see any of that happening.
Leave it the way it is.

i'm all for writing something collumnlike for the front page. if you have a topic for me go ahead and suggest it, or i'll just write about things that interest me and whine until it gets posted. or something.
am i a tool. use me.

If you do the flash intro, be sure it starts with "In a world..." because the last one I saw that started that way was really fun.
I can only offer weekly pics of the squirrels that inhabit my neighborhood.
