News posts on the front page: content
It does make sense, Will. However, personally I'd like to keep that sort of thing to a minimum - many of the examples I can think of would do as well or better as forum topics. I'm not sure how to word this, but we're going to be choosing people because we like the way they rate pets - not to become the spokesmen of the site, which I kind of feel like posting any random topic would imply. Remember, it'll be in a very visible location.
Of course there are exceptions. If there was a major cookie-grabbing thing, maybe, or Neopets was featured on TV or something - I think that sort of thing would be fine, and maybe even talking about trends in art (since that still relates to the pets).

I voted for pet and petpet colors. Because, well, I don't know why now. *shrugs* I'd like the keep petpets optionable mainly if a painted petpet comes out that resembles a pet and such, but that's I suppose that's something people should be free to mention because of the nature of the site. Anyway, I think the other newsworthy events and such should be left up to the forums.

I say pet and petpet colors. "Neocolours" does not specify pet or petpet. ;D
Really though, just because I think the two are closely enough related that they could both be part of newsposts, but items and all that is normally discussed in the forum itself if we think the items/whathaveyou are noteworthy enough anyway.

I think we should have the old four-newest-colours thing on the front page, and underneath have a little thing that says something about the date and day, like, "today is Yurble Day, the fourth of giving!" or something like that. Yeah, I don't think Neocolours needs anything too fancy, I always just came for the community.

I voted for pet colors only. I liked the idea of including petpet colors, too, but think that would only really make sense if we had a petpet database too. I don't think there should be posts about all the items and backgrounds and stuff released, because like others have said, there are a ton of sites with that stuff. I could see maybe a "newsflash" every now and then if there was a big cookie-grabber issue or glitches with the bank or shops or whatever, but that's it.

I personally also rarely visit the frontpage, so I guess it's not actually a big deal to me. However, I've never understood the point of having a page of a fansite that just flashes up all the new items, petpets, etc. I mean, that's what I read New Features on Neopets for. Once the fansite news starts approaching New Features in length there's really no advantage.
