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.

Great. Now who am I going to harangue about the CITY NAME SPORTS TEAM t-shirt I ordered in the mid aughts?

w/r/t the front page, one thing to consider, maybe, is redirecting somethingawful.com to the forums (or maybe just the goldmine)? If the goal here is attract new users, I think an ancient looking article collection page with a "pardon our dust" message at the top is a major stumbling block. You can always keep the front page as somethingawful.com/weirdoldfrontpagerelic and bring it back once we have a clue what it should be for.

Almost everyone here bought an account because of something they saw on the forums anyway (I can remember the thread that brought me on board), it's not like Lowtax's ICQ pranks are bringing people in.

e: i think highlighting good forums threads is fine, but typically the articles that try to walk people through them are cringe, so it probably takes more thought than that.

It does feel bad when things on the internet are lost to the ages. Not even the waybackmachine can save it all. All we are is goatse in the wind...
