Zip - I don’t even think we have that functionality anymore. This is like the third iteration of the forum since the great unhappiness....front page was lost in transition.

But we can start a new one if people wanted to. I have thought about it many times but I cant write it all by myself.

It was mostly paw patrol fanfic.

Swamp was an actual website and had a front page with articles written by members. Heck I even wrote one.

That's probably how I discovered this place. An article came up through a search.

The forum was on another tab.

There is such a thing.

I don't recommend reading it.

One time I said “fuck” on the front page and bill cross called me on it and it really messed with me because I thought it was fair usage.

Bill cross probably hates the ringer and deadspin.


(Although I will admit I get jarred when certain ringer writers drop an f bomb when it isn’t a normal part of their style)

I think a return of the front page would be nice, and it would place for all the deadspin orphans to visit. There was some really good stuff written there. As for time and logistics, that could be a challenge.

Thats why I brought it up. It takes time and commitment. One person cant do a good job by themselves, plus you need different points of view.
