Why the change to show trending posts before showing the forum?

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Jumped on neogaf on my phone to see the forum has been replaced to trending posts.

Is this a new thing? Pretty annoying to see trending posts before the forum when entering.

Yeah, I think if it showed the top 3 only it would be better. It is very large in its current state, and I'm on desktop. I imagine it's more annoying on mobile view.

That idea, or just have the the forums section be first, and then trending threads beneath it.

I'm using the old NeoGaf template and the front page looks awful now, and you have to scroll down to see the forums now.
Please change it back, or at least put the trending posts under the forums.
 
I imagine it has something to do with the recent financial troubles of the forum due to Ad revenue dropping. Maybe having those trending post helps with organic traffic?
 
just about to make this thread it looks terrible please change it to how it was before, no need to change something that wasn't broken
 
Hi folks,


Just some active development testing going on. But we needed an active 'trending' section to test against. Empty dev site doesn't have that.
 
I can see why it would be a thing tho. It's to boost new member activity. Makes total sense to me if I wanted to bring new ppl here, I'd do it as well.
 
If you install the Stylish Chrome extension you can use my theme, it'll hide the trending and also tone down the gold posts a bit.
