Danger! Danger! High Voltage!
Posts: 697 		Hello
Wouldn't IconBar have a better future as a Forums site as opposed to pretending to be a News site? No offence intended but there's not much point in keeping the news page up. Wouldn't it be better to move the forums to the front page, thus [1} making them much more visible to the outside world? As a returning RISC OS user, it seems to me that the vast majority of communication between users goes on on mailing lists and newsgroups and forums, all a little hidden away from anyone mildy curious about the platform. Unless you knew where to look, you'd kind of think no-one was talking about anything.

So, forums to the front page. What do you think?
Gavin

[1] I realise that words like "thus" are frowned up on the Playpen. I shall ensure my next post is jibberish.

If you did that, people would know we're here, and we'd have to stop talking about them.
