Not changelog type info, but more fun stuff like best avatar comps, best player of the week, etc, fun facts, maybe some actual articles/blogs written by agents and show-cased (maybe mods choose the best articles for every season or week), etc etc. Basically it would look kinda like ESPN.com (if you go to that page now), but just more low-key and not so complex etc. But that's kinda the idea you would have for the new "home" page----a resource/info/tickertape/stats/articles/pictures/fun-facts type of stuff. A page that registered users will also visit, and is more attractive for unregistered new people. It's the face of the game (the home page) and should therefore try to attract people with all that kind of stuff that would also show them how "professional" and "well-run" GLB would be by seeing such a home page.
I like some of this idea in general. It brought up another idea about having an official "newspaper" with user submitted articles. If there was an incentive to submit an article (requiring approval from an editor of course), such as you get 500 FP's or something, I bet we could get quite a bit of content submitted on a regular basis.
I would do it with pay of course, I mean there's tons of people who do write ups and stuff...
Perhaps if you could choose what "Region" you wanted to see to start with, and you could choose different ones to look at?
It would have a standings, transactions, and articles and write ups.
Hell, this got me excited haha.
