    You asked for a homepage/landing page? Well here it is! Thanks goes out to Vettlune for the suggestion!

    My goal is for the Sims4Forum to become more than just a place for discussion, but a source of up-to-date news as well!

    Sims4Forum is and has always been community powered, we endeavor to work with you guys in making this a fun and engaging place to share and discuss Sims 4 news and resources. You guys and girls are the heart of the Sims 4 community, the ones who make it all possible.

    Rather than locking down our new homepage so only admins and moderators can post, which would inevitably mean slower news updates and less. We want to give YOU our community the chance to share news and information when you find it and/or write it! Everyone gets to contribute and be a real part of the site!


    To do this we'll set up some basic homepage guidelines/requirements, what you can and can't do if you want your thread to be eligible for frontpage promotion. A few at the top of my head being:

    • Meaningful, and Informative Thread & Title! Not something vague like "Check this out"
    • Clean and formatted layout - A knowledge of how to lay out a news article so it's easy on the eyes is a must!
    • Don't simply link to an article on another website. This is a very lazy way of sharing news, it's fine for the forum in general but not for the homepage. Cover the news in the thread in your own way, and if you must link to an original source at the end.
    • Guides, Tips n Tricks, Informative Videos, News, Reviews all welcome.
    • No self-promotion (without prior permission from an admin)
    So if you're wanting a thread/article to be eligible for the front page it'll need to meet these guidelines! If it doesn't we wont promote it.

    Promotion of threads will work like this. Any thread within the Sims 4 section of the site is eligible for the frontpage (assuming it meets the guidelines) if a thread looks to the admin/mod team like it was written for the homepage or meets the guidelines and is news worthy, we'll copy it over into the news & announcements area which is where all threads go if they are to be displayed on the homepage. (non mods/admins cant post here) and it's as easy as that.

    So we'll be manually approving/promoting news as well as posting our own. We'd love to let you guys post to the homepage freely, but we imagine it'd be a bit chaotic and no doubt spammy if people could simply register and post whatever they liked.

    Let me know what you think in the comments below!

    To be honest I prefer before as I click on home link (logo) that goes to forum page right away but it's up to you cuz it's your website. And my suggestion that you need to add more smilies. And how about to add Awesome, ROFL, OMG, Hell no or No way, Not interested, Naah! (from the like status). Plus I'd love to have a "delete" comment back.

    I'll take your feedback on board, i'll change it so the logo takes you to the forum right away. I've been meaning to add more smilies and post ratings (i've just been lazy) but i'll get right on that!

    Just keep the way things are... I think it is perfect right now but most important it's your site. You do whatever you want. Yes, just adding more post rating and smilies if you have a time. Just take your time! hehe

    Or maybe you can add/change "Home" to/and "News" (or better word) and the logo link from header is more like welcome page as html basic page like "Welcome to bla bla" Looking for a forum? Click on forum link or wanna to read news feed? Then click on news menu, etc.. like actual welcome page.. and give them a little direction where.. So people will click on News menu or Forum menu, etc... Just an idea. (Sorry, my English is real bad)
