You have probably noticed the new "featured thread" block above the node list on the forum index, which randomly loads a thread from a set list.
When I did away with the old home page (which wasn't used by most members), I had in mind an idea to make a hybrid home/forum index page with elements of both.
The difference is it's all on one page and is the single landing page for the site.
I would appreciate any feedback on how useful, or useless, this new block is.
