That way, people, without clicking, can see the community and if they'd like to join in they can click the link.

No offense, but the stuff we talk about is of zero interest to 75% of the people who visit NWR.

Ok and what about the rest? I know you pulled that out of your ass, but that's 1 in 4 people who are interested in the forums.
Does NWR not want a larger fan base?
Look. I think we both can agree that NWR would like to have more consistent readers. So what is the best way to make viewers into fans? BnM suggest funneling them into the forums.
What do you suggest?
vudu:
Judging from what I hear everyday, if NWR wants to increase (or even maintain) readership of the front page they should do everything possible to keep people away from the forums.

The forums are a resource and part of the site. Why should it not be treated as such?
No one is trying to own a story, just point out that if they used the forum as the resource that it was, the front page story wouldn't be days late. If we are posting it in the forums then it has likely already been posted somewhere else and that means potential readers aren't getting the most up to date news at NWR they are reading it elsewhere. That's a reader lost, which means potential ad-revenue not gained and a hopeful regular that never visited.
In no way am I trying to insult the efforts of the staff, I'm trying to make a suggestion that would improve the site and make it more cohesive since the site and the forum are 2 sides of the same coin.
