So How Many Actually Use The Front (Home) Page?

Thanks for the response. I only frequent certain forums so I specifically drill into them to see what is new. The home page has everything new and a lot are in forums I don't care about.

I think that's another reason why I like the home page...I have no personal interest in keeping giant constrictors, for example...but that doesn't mean I don't want
to know what's going on with them. Specific forums narrow your focus, but I don't actually want a narrow focus most of the time.

Unless I am in a hurry or trying to search/post something specific, I always glance down through all of the recent posts on the homepage, which is very useful for authors and readers alike. For instance; I would assume that myself and most others probably would have never even seen this post (and a lot of other posts) if it wasn't for the homepage...
