Below is a list of all the spotlight items going back 2 weeks. The homepage shows at most 1 week back, so this covers a lot of ground. The vast majority of Spotlight items are, as usual, things like S@H specials, new MOCs, group meetings, LEGO media sightings, etc. Not to make a big deal of it, but I think it's a big deal when perceptions differ so greatly from reality, and reality isn't anywhere near as bad as it's perceived to be. Viewers of the homepage may have experienced a slightly larger proportion of negativism appearing on the "Top Stories" list on the homepage than in the Spotlight list overall if more people marked the negative topics as "Spotlight" than those who marked the non-negative items as "Spotlight" -- but certainly not 9 out of 10 in the list. Not even 5 out of 10, I'm sure. I certainly hope it didn't _feel_ like 9 out of 10 -- that wouldn't be any fun at all.
