Main page linkage from the forums

One thing I noticed is that there's no obvious way to get from the forum to the main page (http://www.massassi.net/). The logo links to the forum, as does the "Forum" button below it. And of course the breadcrumb navigation can be used for that as well. But to get to the main page one has to scroll all the way down to find the link lumped in there with Contact us, Archive and Top.
This is not meant as criticism, just something I noticed when I tried to decide which page to link to and I thought I'd mention it.

I would assume that's purposeful (because the main page is pretty much dead until CM finishes the next version). There's some great archive stuff there but rarely anything new. If you want something that's slightly active, check out JKHUB.

I've only seen the main page in museums.

But how else are you going to catch the late-breaking Massassi NEWS????

Speaking of which, I always wondered why site news and file upload announcements have to conflict. Back then when Massassi was at its peak, and files were regularly coming in, this wouldn't have been a good idea since news would have been flushed away.

Okay, I see the reasoning now. Thanks for the link, Mentat.

I think 99% of the forums I've ever visited don't link back to their homepage.
