    How often do you check the front page?

    1) Well I bookmarked the frontpage at first.
    2) then skipped it and went straight to the forums.
    3) Then they said they would be updating the front page regularly so I re-bookmarked it.
    4) but it hasn't been updated in over a month so I open it and imedeatley hit the forums link on the top of the page.

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I find this very interesting. Keep voting.

    4) but it hasn't been updated in over a month so I open it and imedeatley hit the forums link on the top of the page.
    There should be an update over the next couple of days. This site eats about 3 hours average of my life on a daily basis, but when I have the time, I try to get articles out there. I'm wanting to make the front page my priority by Christmas, and bring it back into the TBCS fold.

    Also, I think this information would interest Crimson greatly.

    At home I have the front page book marked and at work the forums are book marked. Even at work I usually check it once a day, but that is just the geek in me.

    Can't get enough of the TBCS!

    So that you guys know why things have been slow - basically, life has been crazy. Once I got settled in to the new place, I was able to dedicate some more time to this place, but a lot of that time went to our "other" project, and preparing for the contests, such as PAX and the Modder's Challenge. As soon as I got back from PAX there was a death in the family, and I have been spending a lot of time trying to take care of loose ends and such. Things have smoothed out a bit more recently, and so we should be able to get things set up for more frequent updates, but we really can't commit to the three-times-a-week updates like we had at one point.

    When it comes to front-page content, though, what do you like to see? Forums announcements? Contests? Reviews? News?

    Thanks.

    All those things sound good. If I knew that I would find nice things like that on the home page, I would definately check it every time I sign on.

    Also, hardware and software deals would be good. Like a "Deal of the Day" where you would list like a nice sale on stuff, that would be sweet too.

    I first came to the forums, not the site. I also have the forums as one of my quick link things for firefox (the links above the tabs). That's how I come here every time.

    Maybe when you do the forum revamp make a scipt which posts a item on the front page once a week that has the top 5 most viewed worklogs from the worklogs section.

    I've bookmarked the board and generally skip the front page.
