I don't know about anyone else, but I frequently check the front page to see what new message board topics have been posted. This generally works great except that a lot of the most frequently updated threads are PbP. Is there a way to separate those posts from the rest of the message board posts? Is this a problem for anyone else?

It doesn't really bother me much since I am heavily involved in the Play-by-Post games here, but I believe that it would be nice if, at the very least, the 'new posts' history were a little bit longer.

I agree, although I'm just starting my first PbP. Perhaps the new posts could be flexible, like the category headings. Expanding when there is a lot of activity and ontracting when there isn't a lot. Sometimes a post 9 minutes old gets dropped off the new posts list.
And I know Gary has tons of time to fritter away doing this kind of stuff for us.
Actually, I'm frequently blown away at how quickly these boards adapt to customer suggestions and requests.
Yes, please. Seperate area for PbP, if it's not too much trouble.

Of course I should have started out by explaining that it's not a big idea and that I appreciate everything Gary et. al. do for us.

Actually, if we seperate out PbP posts from the New Posts history, can we give PbPs their own New Post section? Those of us in PbPs do get something useful out of seeing if their game has any new posts.
And while you're at it, can you completely redesign the entire Internets to be perfectly custom tailored to me?
(And now I should go do some work on my own PbP game...)

I'm in the same boat as Fatespinner, into the pbp games, so appreciate them being part of the recent posts on the front page. Don't mind if they were seperated.
The PbP threads are what I look for first. I wouldn't mind them being seperated. That being said, I love the message boards here. Makes me think "If it ain't broke...)

The message boards certainly work great here. However, I think the minor switch of adding a "gamers corner" box with pbp and pbp discussion on the front page and seperating the rest of the messageboards into another box would be helpful. It's not that big of a deal, just some "website feedback."
