Petition: Replacing the Recent Blogs Column

MC A-KI-O!

So I've noticed something for a while but mostly kept quiet about it because I knew it probably wouldn't get fixed. But if nothing else (could pester a few people about it), I'd like to see how many people feel similarly. So let me ask you this.

How much do you use the middle column compared to the activity feed?

I myself only use it when trying to trace back to an old blog that disappeared from the activity feed. Other times, I don't even look at it. Then here's another thing.

Would you care if that middle column was modified?

Since we're fast becoming a media-based site, why not allow for submissions of all different kinds of media? Instead of just being able to rate and comment on games, why not have support for images and music and any other generic media? Besides, six games isn't much to display (though we aren't getting many submissions as is).

Why not have the middle column be composed of recent media submissions?

Of course, they can be divided into categories, and the recent blogs could probably appear as a list minus the previews. Also, expanding the recent activity feed to accommodate for 20-30 entries might be something to look into. I mean the main page stretches much further downward anyway.

Give it some thought. If needed, I'll do it myself. I'd mostly just like to see how everyone else feels about a site they may or may not frequent.

This is 64digits anyways, it'd take a miracle to get anybody to actually implement this, and do it right.

To be completely honest, I'd be 100% against removing the recent blogs list. However, I could possibly go with moving it down a bit, and putting the new "recent media" list right above it. I'd want to see how it looked though.

Sounds good to me.

In v2 the activity feed showed 15 blogs and had scroll buttons, I have no idea why it was reduced to non-scrollable and 10.

We should be wary of people trying to submit porn for Ferret to review…
