I increased it from 10 threads to 25 threads a page, plus removed the time stamp for when a thread was made.

Do you like these changes?

Still have the annoying issue of the front page missing topics though.

Is it missing topics or is it not numbering properly? 
The world may never know. 

The changes are okay, but not something I felt needed to happen.

also viewing from my other browser as guest I only see 10 topics... :(
I'd say make so guest see 25, and users see 15 - 20 to give the impression to outsiders that there are a decent amount of active topics (which there are a decent amount, but been sliding back due to everyone talking about project

Yeah it's screwy with showing all the topics.

Ideally I think the front page should just be the list of topics with the stats at the bottom. That way it's closer to what GAF and most gaming forums do. I'll lower it to 20 though, since that seems like it might feel nicer.

well on VGC i only ever used the hot topics, since they were there on the same page with the stats and articles, and did like the forum buddy thing as well. However, I like the hot topics set up on this forum, and for now I don't feel a need for a buddy. I've never really used either of those on other forums as I've normally gone to smaller dedicated fan forums for various things. What might be cool here is a hot topic list on the main page of the website, guests see the recent 25 active topics, and users see the 10-15 most recent topics as well as a list that shows updates to their most recent used topics (buddy)

too much stuff though and it could feel cluttered and overwhelming
