    They are just discussing ideas. Let's hold off judgement until everyone's had time to weigh in on it :)

    If there was a single place to go to reliably get info on what events were going on for the month, would you check that?

    To be honest, I've occasionally (i.e. frequently) used the TS status window to find out whether or not I want to log on to TS in the first place. I can't be the only person doing that, and I'll acknowledge its a pretty rotten habit. Removing it might encourage people to log in and actually find out who's on.

    I imagine a lot of the work could be automated through the event calendar.


    Could also give Borg updates down the road for stuff happening the day of for when star citizen finally comes out.


    Edit..

    Added some more stuff

    I'm strongly in favor of keeping the TS3 window running. It's kind of a nice motivation/reminder for people to see some folks online and hop on to chat or game.

    Things I would do/change:
    1: Make an actual home/front page.
    2: Move TS3 Window to the home page
    3: Put an events calendar on the home page where everyone can see it and add to it.
    4: Either a shout box or a recent posts listing on the home page
    5: A recent announcements posting on the home page

    Basically, make and start utilizing a home page for front page things.

    I'd be more in favor of the TS3 Window if it wasn't always horribly out of date.
