Some of those sound pretty Uber. I agree the central Homepage is better, and could be the central hub for announcments, and other stuff, other than just being a forum.

I've never thought I'd say this, but Lenny, I'm feeling that same newb feel. You've been here so much longer, and yet you still don't know what the old Zel was like. This site is so, so much more, than just a forum. It needs to have some of those features again.
