Clearly the owners want traffic on the home page, else they wouldn't be asking. I am well aware nothing was said, but I'm also making my preference clear that any such attempt to drive traffic through the home page is going to have at least some negative impact. I'd hate to see anything of the sort.
I looked at the home page. Just like I remember. More ads than anything of substance or use to a Utah fisherman. Not well laid out for readability, overly busy, very little to draw a weekend UT fisherman there. The UT forums are the active ones because a critical mass was achieved in the past to perpetuate it (thanks to a few key players it appears). It certainly isn't active because of snippets and features on the home page, or because of the ads.
