Uh oh. We've been found out.
This is going to be a bit of an experiment going forward. First off, I am well aware that most people go straight to the forum when they come here. As soon as I type "NC" into my browser it autocompletes with "www.nc4x4.com/forums/" every time.
The goal is to create a landing page that is pretty to look at, presents information clearly and concisely, and works as a companion to the forum, providing a place where we can feature the best forum content in a simple, easy-to-navigate way.
I like the forum a lot. But the signal to noise ratio is very low. Because of that, I worry that some events, news, etc don't get the attention they deserve. I'm hoping the new front page can start to address that.
I decided to go ahead with a soft launch yesterday because it made some troubleshooting easier, plus it gives you guys a chance to look at it and give us feedback.
There will be some new features coming in the next few weeks, but in the meantime I'd appreciate any ideas, suggestions, or criticisms you guys have to offer. After all, this thing has to work for you if it's going to be successful.
