Reducing the idiotic front page

Post by Jovial Monk » Sat Jan 01, 2022 7:04 pm

Why not merge Australian Politics with World Politics and News & Current Events, call it, I dunno, Politics?

Merge Science and Philosophy?

Merge Sport and Entertainment?

So many boards, so few posts!

PA looks 1000 times better than your blog. I had my first (and only) look the other day. What a regurgitated dog's breakfast that is. It looks like nothing is there and, from all I hear, nothing is.

Nothing to inspire or attract anyone. Basic, uninteresting and completely lacking. I opened one measly and uninteresting forum and every post was yours. Worry about your own backyard instead of whining over everyone else's boards.

The front page is ridiculous. Compact it and it will make the place look more active.

Sorry, the front page is not a way of attracting or keeping new members.

Monk,
go and fix up your own dump - it needs a lot of work. :)

Get FD to trim the list of ELs and mods.

Current EL { name }

Previous EL { name }

Is enough, surely?

Mods could be FD/Red/Sappho.


Just some basic tidying up.

Have suggested that to FD but he is very lazy.

Anyway, this is not about my fine forum or OzPol. This is about making THIS place look a bit more inviting.

I suggest asking FD:

1. Only 2 ELs—current and previous

2. Help you shrink this front page a bit.


I have also suggested removing that Russian spambot’s post. How did it manage to join and post anyway?

Oh yes, rename the Dungeon(!) to Archives, make it Read Only and remove the idiotic password.
