The number of complaints we have gotten has increased. That is why we are asking the question.
I think it may be a good idea to have only ISU related forums appear on the front page.
Or alternatively, to have a separate page that only shows recent thread activity for all ISU related forums.

I think two of the main reasons are to limit flame posts and they have a tendency to digress into arguments that stay on the front page for a long time keeping the front page less "fresh". I am also in favor of an opt-in.
Edit: I would also be very happy with it being like the Gaming/Groups forum.

I don't think it's needs to be opt-in like the Politics/Religion forum, but like Gaming/Groups would be fine.
It's mostly flame bait anyway. I'm in favor of not seeing a thread bounce around the front page for a week after every Hawk arrest.
I don't have a problem with it being on the front page, everyone is free to click on what they want and ignore the rest.
That works for me as well.
I think the opt-in is only of use if Jeremy can create the front page by member, and the only way to know what to show would be what a member has opted into.
If he can do this, I'd prefer that we have an opt in for gaming - I'd like that to show on my frontpage.
Do the board moderators have typical meetings and actually discuss these "issues"? If so, that's hilarious. Too funny..... :biglaugh:
In the same breath, you can just click on the Rivals forum if you care to see what's going on.
I have a feeling that this will be hawk-heavy voting on the "leave it" side.
Opt-ing in doesn't make it show up on the front page. I'm opted into the Politics board because I go in there and read occasionally, but it doesn't show on my front page, unless of course I'm messing something up (which is entirely possible).
It would occasionally be nice to keep the flame wars off the front page though because every Iowa thread turns into the same "Go to your own message board" and "we don't want you here" and "you guys are a bunch of criminals" which eventually have about as much meaning as the former Friday threads and we got shown the door to our own little shindig. :cute:
