2. Pics of MOCs. Some of the newsgroups (.space, .castle, .trains (though
not updated as often)) post pics of cool MOCs in that theme in their
sidebars.

Of course, this again
requires someone to choose and post the new pics regularly

Read those two sentences again. Someone already chooses them.
Why not just grab two or three at random from that much smaller selection? Good
idea though. It’d be good to see a parade of excellent models there on the
homepage.

4. Bring back CLSotW. I know there has been low voter participation in the
recent run, but I still think it’s very cool to highlight great work on a
regular basis. There are many very cool sites that have gone up since CLSotW
died most recently--classic-castle, ITLCO, and Scibrick just to name three
“community” sites that would be obvious nominees (to me, at least), not to
mention many great individual efforts (like my personal favorite, Mike
Crowley’s great Miniland-scale Star Wars creations).

Another idea for promoting sites is you could have a page of links sorted by
clickthoughs - most clicks at the top. Occasionally bump one at random from the
bottom of the pile to the top. On the homepage have the Top Five and Random Lego
Site (sometimes I like to close my eyes and point) chosen from the list. Reset
it every week and jumble it up at random. Have this as the default, but retain a
‘sort by’ funtion.
I quite like the clean functionality of the current home page, but I would like
more reason to go there. I usually go straight to the newsgroups these days.
With regualr content updates (and these can be done automatically) I’d visit
more often. These could be put in the currently underutilised centre section of
the homepage where CLSOTW used to be.
