You should front page the demo's and stuff.
That way you'll get random traffic looking for a DL site.
Or something.
Just seems like you'd post on the frontpage that you got the demo and it's avaliable to download for F13.net forum goers.

We don't want extra traffic for our downloads.
We are offering these as a service to our users, not to the unwashed masses looking for free downloads.
We DO this because we love YOU.
We DON'T love THEM.

There's a front page? Someone had to. |

There's a front page? Someone had to. What do y'all hate the frontpage? What did it ever do to you? Please point to the spot on the doll where the frontpage touched you. |

Why bother to look at it? Put something interesting up there we can't get to from the forums. BTW some of the links inside some of the latest features pages to the forums don't work. |

Yes, some of the links are dead. They need fixing. We changed forum software - it destroyed every link. They all have to be fixed by hand. It'll take a while.

It's just a place where people write long posts. I have insufficient attention span to summon up strong feelings for or against the front page. I'll have you know some of my best friends are front pages. Don't get me wrong, I do occaisionally look at the front page (mostly when I'm trying to get back to the forum index and I click on the top left logo by accident), and when I do it seems like an entirely well behaved and appropriate front page. I'm probably reassured to know that there *is* a front page, and salute the efforts of those brave men and women who provide it; a front page seems like the sort of thing that ought to exist, it's good to know that this incarnation of our internet selves isn't merely an insignificant headless message board but part of a wider movement of sufficient significance to warrant someone hacking together some actual HTML. Put something interesting up there we can't get to from the forums. Nonononono. Don't do that, just put the interesting thing you find on the forum. |

As little as I use it, the front page is all that stops this site from becomming merely a forum. And a site that is simply a forum is just icky.
EDIT: What demos?

Signe, you are more original than that. Do _not_ jump on the "frontpage, frontpage? THere's a frontpage? What's a frontpage? What's an original joke?" bandwagon.
Calantus, demo forum above. But we're only putting demos in that we think are either interesting or fun.
And yes, sites that are just forums are icky.

My points just swoosh, don't they? I am either the master of the subtle or the subtle is the master of me.
