Whoa there buddy, relax on the font size.
No, I don't agree. I really hope this stays a "old school" forum where the things which deserve publicity get's publicity through replies on the topic and where you have to actually put in some effort to get the information which you want. I'm sick of all the "lay back, never activate your brain" stuff which is all over the internet, but that's just me.
And then it would be very bias and kind of unfair to a lot of threads. Say 95% of all the threads holds excelent quality, then only 1 of those threads get publicity, or get a much higher amount of publicity. Feels unfair somehow, but that's just my silly oldschool bitter opinions.
i don't agree with this completely because we have had the old school approach to forums and it works in most ways but it lacks in content discovery. The front page thing might not be the best thing but i think that a side bar with the most recent threads or most active threads in the past two hours in every forum could be good. so that one can log in and directly find something to contribute to or read
