All of those with clans. In fact, the only ones I would leave out are -
Whose Forum Is It Anyway, Cheating & Abuse Reports, Bug Reports, International forums. Not that there is anything wrong with those ones. ;)

Koontz, I'd go one farther than you and include the Off topics. If the idea is to show the full array of what CC has to offer, I think those are maybe the most important to include. I definitely agree with leaving out C&A and bugs, though. No need to put our dirty laundry on the homepage :)

I thought about it and went against it after reading some thread titles but having another look at it now, I cannot see anything too outrageous. Added to the list.

I like this idea. :)

Having frequently updated front page content will also give the (correct!) impression that CC is a full, active community.

Many people are scared by the forums.
Maybe if we get them to see a glimpse of it every time they login,than maybe they will start to get more interested and familiar with it

I only see upside to this. I'm not sure if there is any plan to remake the home page into anything specific, but it would be good to probably have bigWham and/or blakebowling have a comment in here.

There is a plan to remake the homepage, however the details haven't yet been finalized. I will bring this up when we talk about the new homepage.

SUBMITTED. If the admins decide that this does not work with their homepage redesign (having seen it, I think it could fit), they are welcome to reject it.
