I logged on to Bungie.net today to find a new image on the right side of the screen advertising jobs for Bungie. I looked at it and thought that it was great, and I wondered what else the frontpage could look like. I noticed that the center column (news) was kept up to date and looked nice, but the other two “columns” looked like they could be improved. Here’s my idea of what it could look like.
Right Column:
* Most Popular Thread box: I like the box, and I’d like to see it be fixed. I think that it would be very helpful to have because it’ll give members a chance to hop in on the most active topic without having to spend much time in the forums.
* Bungie Store: Obviously there for advertising reasons, it would be nice (and maybe beneficial to Bungie, if inside that box, there was a link to the “Most Popular Item” which would be similar to the link in the Forum box.
* Jobs icon: I really like this icon, because it’s creative, fits well with the site, and serves a purpose. If there are to be many more icons on the right column, this icon might need to be shorter or smaller. It’s bigger than the others.
* Seventh Column Page: If this site ever becomes active and updated frequently with breaking news about the community, then an icon leading to the column’s main page would be helpful.
Left Column:

Now, if you would, please imagine what I just listed on the front page of the site. Well you don’t have to, I made an image showing you what it would look like. Check it out:

Of course, I’m not crazy enough to change text of the left column titles, so it can only serve as a visual guide to how far down the page it’ll go. Also, the I used the site’s avatar for a visual representation on the right side, and since it’s a lot smaller, it looks sort of pixilated.
Anyway, what do you guys think?
