Box Scores of Cub games on the front page

[CubinNY]

I'd like that.

Speaking of the front page, perhaps it's time to do away with the headlines section. If things aren't going to get updated regularly why not completely change what's up there?

 

Along with the standings and today's game, you could add the most recent boxscore. Maybe the upcoming minor league games and results of yesterday's games. Perhaps keep track of 3-4 prospects per affiliate and their current stat line.

 

I think the bulk of the site is obviously about the message board threads. The blogs just aren't happening. If you could move the section with the most recent threads to have something like a link to the thread in addition to the first paragraph of that thread or something.

 

I don't know, just brain storming on the front page ideas.

I should be more active with the blogs, I was thinking about doing some sort of daily minor league blog updates if anyone would be interested (along with links to the threads).

I think the site could use a major design overhaul all together. With a nice streamlined design that links to the blogs and other news stories and looks somewhat official or news-like, it could become a regular daily visit for everyone on here for at least 10-15 minutes, and also allow the visitors to have comments on each posted item. I only go to the front page when I need a link to the forums on a different computer, otherwise I use the 'ol bookmark.

the only problem with all that daily updating is who is going to do it?

You don't visit here for at least 10 minutes a day?

Are the standings and pitching probables manually updated? I figured that was done automatically somehow.

 

Somebody always posts the previous days' minor league scores and today's matchups. I figure there has to be a way to link those to the front page, no?

i just don't know who all has access to the front page. Raisin usually does all the minor league stuff, but can he update anything non-message board related?

No. I think only Tim can.

I visit the forums for hours. The front page itself, I haven't been to in like... 3 weeks, and when I was there, I was there to get the forum link and nothing else.

 

These are easily the best Cubs forums far and away on the net and has an awesome community. It'd be even better if it had a main front page area to rival the forums popularity

Oh okay I misunderstood you. Yeah, I don't really ever visit the main page unless I'm on a different computer that doesn't have a bookmark.

I'm hoping to have time to do some of this work one of these days...Hey, I got the standings back when I got pushed a few times. :)

 

What I really wish is that I had more time to write.
