Forum or comments for news posts?

[Marius]

Hmmm, was thinking about this again today. I think one stumbling block is it's a bit harder to see when a new comment is posted on a new article. If I don't remember the number of comments on an article (and so aren't able to judge just by the number of comments alone), it's hard to tell if there's a current discussion going on by just looking at the homepage.

Could always put a recent comments widget on the sidebar so people can see at a glance that there's discussion going on (and hence may be more willing to sign up to comment ), but that may clutter things up.

I've been thinking the same thing, but I need to find a clean solution. We'll keep at it!

Off-topic, but Tim you need a bigger, easier-to-read avatar now that we have the new site. Here you go

I'm just going to leave this here:

THIS NEW GON SITE SUX ARSE!

They took a simple, clean, intuitive, easy to access site and turned it into this **** fight.

Can anyone suggest a site like the OLD GON?

If there is one, I'm outa here.
