Let me give an example: regardless of 'net proficiency, as a new member, overwhelmed by all the stuff we expect people to learn in order to get by, is it better or worse to have more visible links to important info?
Like, is it better to have a twitter feed, or is it better to populate that area with links to the server & forum rules, visible at a glance whether on the home page, or the index, ect?
The you that's been farting around here since 2012 just may go with the twitter feed, since things like the forum & server rules aren't something you would normally click on after so much time having past, but the crux of what I'm talking about has to do with new people.
They shouldn't have to go out of their way to learn to navigate around the site to find relevant info...that shiz should be highly 'effin visible in the spirit of ease.
Has it been so long that you can't remember what it was like to be new here? What I'm requesting is the very definition of absolutely reasonable. It may have started with a "today's posts" thing, but it's exposed to me quite a few flaws we have now that I haddn't considered 'till I was forced to think beyond myself & look closer as an outsider.
