Ok, lets get back to the topic. Yes, it's going to be more work, yes, there are down side to it, but I have to admit, I've became quite a fan of reddit and it seems to work pretty well. The more important issues tends to surface toward the top, and every once in a while some of the silly ones come to the top too.

I suppose how you program it to balance between new threads and popular ones is how you would make it work. And I am not oppose to having the regular portal page. This would be another page just for fun.

In the realm where this idea is absolutely not actually going to get worked on, I support it 10,000% because, well I like something fun now and pages like reddit and digg are quite popular now a days without losing the important topics. (see two examples right now in the two posts above me)

In the realm where it might actually be considered, I don't think this will ever happen because too many people want different things and they will never agree.


So, let's just stick to the first realm and have some fun. Would you have one with up and down arrows like reddit, or more like digg.com... Or how else would you decide what the user preference is?
