I'm a lovable meme.

Something Awful actually has a front page, yeah and it's terrible. Now that SA seems to be administered again, let's put something better in place. What's it going to be?

100% serious proposal for the front page to redirect to the forums.

Come on, the front page content wasn't funny in 1999 it sure as gently caress isn't now. Let it go.

Revive the SWAT series for the front page. Also, Photoshop Phriday. Also, if mods were to get creative with the probe language and graphics, a feature called The Weekly Worst Goon that showcases the worst of the Leper's Colony would be OK.

I will review PC Anime Games but as I lack a computer and cannot read Japanese its going to mostly be extremely wrong and biased conjecture like an old archaeologist unwilling to believe women could be buried with spears.

Since the forums are the biggest draw, we should leverage that and have the front page advertize them more directly. I propose a series of articles in the style of "travel brochures" or timeshare pitches, explaining what each subforum is about, a sort of ambassadorial dcument for potential newbies browsing the SA frontpage and getting a taste of our rich and varied forum culture.

It should highlight all the internet poo poo that was invented here. The good stuff anyway.

a series of articles similar to those levi johnston things, except they are about lowtax. just write it as savage and cruel as possible, so as to twist the knife and make it clear that the community he was synonymous with his entire adult life is completely done with him.

i'd be totally fine if the frontpage turned into some lovely cracked.com clone (when it was good) or something if it made money, i never go to the frontpage anyway and never did.

Make the front page all goon nudes. It'll be the only porn site on the web catering to the "doughy mid to late 30's gamer" fetish. We'll be raking in the bux.
