Usually when I hit the forum I glance at the section to the right where it shows the latest five posts in the forum, and usually that section is filled with Bible Discussion Forum posts... and usually they are posts railing at other christians who don't believe exactly the same.
It occurs to me that would give a newcomer a very bad impression of the forum. Is it possible to edit the "New Forum Posts" area such that BDF posts don't show up there? Our more argumentative members certainly don't NEED BDF posts there in order to get back to their arguments, and newcomers would see posts from other parts of the forum instead of a list of flame posts.
CAVEAT: The preceding is just one man's opinion. And I'm not sure forum code even allows selective "New Forum Posts" results.
