So what do we want to do with the home page?

The discussion we had before went something along the lines of:

Use the portal front end of vB4

or

A simple page with a very short intro on us with game logos  that can be clicked on to take them to the essential info for that game so that they can get started.

So as a basic design question, let's debate, decide & create please.

I think that's it mostly covered. I'd like to be able to see the server status of all the games on the main page if that's possible (I know it's a lot more work with numerous different games). It'll encourage members of one game to try the others, and also give existing players a reminder to get on the server.
Details page should have contact info for admins of each game for fast contact if/when someone needs kicking or the server needs rebooting when nobody is on.

That's my view anyway, would like to hear other suggestions too.

The ideas are good, but can we put it into a page so we can see what it looks like?

I'm going to have a go at making a server status list, and making it as a plugin so it can be managed and configured through the control panel.  I imagine it will take the form of a side menu panel.
