JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Thanks for the update and the transparency. It's good to have some confidence in the future of this website while the rest of the internet has a meltdown.

Who gives a poo poo about the front page. Joke articles are dead. Comedic internet content today is naturally generated user quips in discussion or short video clips, memes, or tweets. The existence of the front page in its past form is archaic.

Putting all the energy and focus on the forums in the short term is the right thing to do.

Edit: poo poo just make the forums the whole website. Pay or take volunteer contributors to make effort threads, videos, photoshop challenges whatever.

I think the best use of the front page would be to condense it into an approved feed of forums content, with plenty of forum links. Which is something that should come AFTER the forums themselves are cleaned up and improved- it should be the last thing done. I think that way the front page could serve as an advertisement for the forums. Include a small timeline about it being 20 years strong and better than ever. Show off things SA is famous/responsible for. Advertise it as an anti to social media.

Preserve them as 'Legacy IDs' underneath the modern list of social media links
