I don't know how the current ones work, but threads with the most posts in the past day or so should be highlighted.

I don't know how the current ones work

more than 100 replies or 500 views

For the record Markos, I've only seen the very bottom of the pages one time since we swtiched to Vb more than a year ago

**Andemagne** · June 15, 2002, 15:59

customiable first page?

**TCO** · June 16, 2002, 00:35

Sorry, Mark. Sometimes things hide.

I'd like more consideration of the new Poly user in your home page.

**Zoid** · June 16, 2002, 05:24

I think it´s quite good as it is now. One thing I would like though is a "most recently replied threads that i've participated in"-feature.

Keep up the good work

I'd like more consideration of the new Poly user in your home page.

any ideas to that effect?

**TCO** · June 16, 2002, 09:58

well...I don't have all the ideas. But I do think it's important. I showed the page to my sister. She had the impression that Civfanatics was the place to be.

As I've said before, that intro paragraph has too little concrete details about the site...and too much empty, long words.

does your sister play civ?

**Panag** · June 16, 2002, 11:07

hi ,

Civfanatics is a totally different place , both the lay-out and the content , ...

a small poll , 398 people ; what is the best civ related place to be , ....

Apolyton : 304
Civfantics : 32
the other site's had lees the 5 votes each , ....

it was done 2 weeks ago , ...

have a nice day

I'd also like to see a 'Hottest Threads' option on the homepage. Something whereby it lists the five or ten threads that have had most replies (or maybe views) in the last 24 hours. I think that'd be cool...

I'm not sure if off-topic threads should count in this, though. I don't want OTers to be 'second-class- citizens, but I'm not sure if the latest spamming flamefest should be advertised on the homepage.

**TCO** · June 16, 2002, 13:41

yeah 'I got my sis and her husband hooked on civ. She even has civ3!!

1) It is not intended to have a great amount of "concrete" details about the site -- it is only intended to serve as a general overview.
2) "empty, long words" -- I disagree. On their own they are admittedly not "concrete" (see point #1 again), but especially when combined with the new introductory page (and the "About" section homepage before that) everything is all rounded out quite nicely.

Dan, You may have a "different opinion" but, as you are a poor writer, your opinion is suspect. Read Strunk and White. You will learn both how to improve your writing and your recognition of good writing.

I'm not going to debate this anymore. I've got way more experience than you do. The feedback stands. Do with it as you please.
