So, eh, what's it all about?

Dont be at yourself

You tease!

Is this just a replacement front page or something different? If the latter, what additional content are you going to throw up there, in addition to the usual latest posts/blogs etc?

I remember, probably some years back now, DeVore outlining an idea to draw on the vast resources of knowledge and opinion that boardsies are often very willing to share, and shape it into something more than your average bulletin board site.

It's something we've begun to gradually see happen, with the PI board, and perhaps more relevant, the music and film review boards. I wonder, will these be integrated into the portal page, creating an online magazine of sorts? It presumably would be fairly straight-forward to add a 'top 5 most recent reviews' section to the portal or whatever, and would change the whole dynamic of those boards, as well as the portal (well, whatever dynamic that has/will have, or something).

So I'm wondering, is that the kind of idea - to hammer magazine-style content from the reams of daily threads?

I hope so!

Yes how is it a portal and not a front page?

Sparky

because cloud is compiling php code that grabs latest posts, new polls and users online from the database and making a .php file that shows this up with the current users style.

Cloud

Heh!

The idea is to have another entry point to pages, portals relating to particular communities, and hell, maybe even some free blogs
