So ... whatcha think?

The first choice is the way it is now. The last choice is the most condensed (but also provides the least amount of info).

It's very funny that you should say that ... at the moment, I am in Dreamweaver making a mock new homepage (which I'm going to do some playing around with before it goes public).

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could make a mock template too. Maybe then I can show you what I have going and we can exchange ideas.

Basically, this is a forum for USERS. And it should be most convenient / easiest setup for the USER! ;D (P.S. that's you!)

You know the Forum Stats on the index page? I was thinking of redoing their look ...

Or, optimally, creating a new homepage so the user isn't automatically thrown at the forum board index.

This new homepage would include a bunch of forum info as well as possibly "other stuff" (yeah, stuff, that's it)

I used SSI to generate this non-forum page (which incorporates forum stats) - Perhaps some of its info can be thrown into a template

I think you should just keep it the way it its. The forums should be the home page...I hate to be a pig, but maybe change the color "yellow" to a different one... more of a mascular color (since most computer people are guys) =) Here's my friend's forums:

inscissor, your friend over at animepad just used the default phpBB template style. The only thing that was changed was the actual animepad logo in the upper left of the index page.
