I like the idea of having a Home page for the website. So instead of going straight to the forums when you go to devinity.org you would go to a home page (You could however change your Bookmark to "devinity.org/forum" instead). This homepage would include "Important News" in the middle such as server updates and announcements which would automatically appear when a post is made in the forum. We could still keep the header bars and side bars the same. In my opinion having a homepage would look better and make us look like a more established community.
I would like to have a home page, something for new users coming to the forums to look at and it can list server announcements. That's a great idea.
There ued to be one but when Devinity switched over to Xenforo, Bayrock never made a new one. Not sure if intended or not. I suppose it was intended.
