Hmmm...
So what you are saying is create a home page that the forum is merely a part of. Now where have I seen that before...
Oh yeah, Powerline.
Now wouldn't that be interesting.
At any rate, we can still get this thing started right now by starting a thread and, as suggested, making it a sticky topic. The thread author will have to keep the list up to date on the original post and have names point to permalinks within the thread as to why RINO X needs to be primaried and why CHALLENGER Y needs support, etc.
If a page gets built then the "database" (and I use that term loosely) could be transfered there. But, yes, I think that if a list such as this could be built then it could result in our site being more of a destination for the search engine reasons mentioned.
I will put the thing up and see where it goes. If anywhere.
