Feature Request

So I'm redoing The Can and I have the core functionality of the site more or less working.

Now I'm wondering what we can do that's new (maybe even an exclusive niche of something).

One planned new feature will be a "Nutcan Master Debates"® section. We've had long winded debates on stuff before (and will more likely than not rehash it) but the typical message board style blog where everything is one long list of responses doesn't suit a point/counterpoint format. We'll try to come up with a format more suiting to that of a debate. (I'm thinking a topic gets posted, anyone who wants to makes their case both in paragraph form and "chooses sides" for a summary box. No one sees what other people argue until it's time to "go live". At this point you can reply directly to a point/counterpoint "thread" or make general comments at the bottom like all pages. (ie I think your page sucks and you don't know a damn thing about ___ (where blank is our current topic)) As we've seen in the past any "debate" gets us all up in a posting tizzy, so hopefully we can get the content flowing again. In a perfect world we would succeed in any debate degenerating into childish name calling by counterpoint 4.

For the record "Nutcan Master Debates"® was a joke...but the more I pondered it the more the name grew on me. I think every site is allowed one cheap 'Big Wood' style gag.

Also I'm wondering if anyone uses or ever checks all the stuff on the main page (like the MLB standings, Comics, TV, ect...)

If I shouldn't bother in redoing all that stuff what should the main page consist of?

I need some ideas people.

ps. I can do without the Page 3/Nutcan sucks, do nothing, comments.

pps. I need a picture of Scott for his blogs/articles. Which reminds me to mention that Scott and Alex will have blog writing/article writing abilities. In fact Alex already has 2 articles and they both have many blogs. (The forum is going bye bye and those posts became blogs since all but a handful of the forum theads were started by one of the 6 of us anyway, we'll figure something out for the handful later)
