Default Make hack of the month a top level forum.

It's irritating that HOTM is a sub forum of announcements. Unless it contains the latest post you need to click several times to reach it. And, no, I don't use the portal.

Seriously, it should be it's own forum up top. It might get more attention that way.

If you could put a coffee pot in there and a table for snacks that would be good as well.

Well, the reason is that there are already a lot of Top level forums, which is already problematic for users especially new ones.

we're planning a little re design of the forums, and may keep that one in mind

I don't think that's so much of an issue with the ability to hide forums now.

Too many forums already. >_< Am I the only person who actually thinks this? A normal forum just for HOTM seems like a very big waste to me.

I don't think HOTM needs its own forum, but I would like to see a return of the sub forums for types of hacks rather than the prefix hack.

Thanks,
Mat

0.5% voter turnout is a waste to me as well.

And FYI, it already has it's own forum. It's just hard to get to.

Then make a suggestion thread for that.

I know it has its own forum, I was talking about the amount showing on forumhome.

Actually no, this is one of those rare occasions when I agree with you - a whole forum just for hotm seems a fantastic waste - just put the hotm threads in the announcement or site feedback forum.

It already has it's own forum and it's already in the announcements forum. My only complaint, well not really a complain, an observation, is that no one can see it.

Perhaps enabling sub-forum display for certain forums would be a way of making everyone happy
