I think Genma's adding new features to the site again: I got a weird SQL error a moment ago.

Eep, i dont usually scroll past the top section of the forum main page, and I did just now, and saw a bunch of boy band members w/ bad hair.

*gasp* the horror!

We need either a "minimize" or "delete" option for that.

I enthusiastically second that notion.

That's redundant.

That part of the home page looks like a festival of fuggin' fruits.

It's not even diverse.

Lotsa Vitamin C there.

Yeah Vitamin Crap.

Yeah, but the content there will change as more videos get approved. Hopefully not TOO many people will submit boy band clips I guess there will be some, because every second drama has a boyband theme song, or so it seems...

It'll be stilted just like all the Top 50 lists we have.

You're wishing on a star, brother. It's going to be inundated with asexual boy band shiet...haven't you seen how the top 50 artistes poll has turned in the last couple of years? It's going to me the same pattern. Although the usual suspects here might post more than others we are definitely not as numerous as those ppl who worship at the alter of Johnny's Jimusho.

Yeah, true. But they have to be approved by a moderator AFAIK.. so it'll be up to people with some sense to not go overboard with the boy band crap.

Too late, my friend. It's already turned into a sea of garbage.

The mods can only approve or disapprove what is offered up...why go through the added investment of time and effort to act as a boy band filter of sorts. Seems like an unproductive function if you.

In any event, I agree with gaijinmark's original proposal. Supply the board members with a means to minimize or delete that section of the homepage.

That shouldn't be hard to do for a man of Genma's talents Just add a button to show/hide that section. Even I could code that

Agreed. I couldn't code squat. I can color code my coloring book with various crayons...that about it.
