My deleted post from the game localization thread which currently occupies the top billing on the front-page:
I look at the front-page, and this is what I see:

1. Significant 3DS leak.
2. Huge development in PS3/PSP hacking front.
3-8. Homebrew releases.
9. Flashcart loader release.
10. Happy New Year's message to the community.
11. GBAtemp review announcement.
12. Flashcart loader release.
13. Announcement of 3DS functionality.
14-18. Homebrew announcements.

Oh yeah, and 0. A rumour about one game maybe being localized to another country.

Obviously as I am not staff, you are free to ignore and dismiss my opinion, but polluting the front-page with "generalized" gaming news takes away from site's core: promoting the console hacking community. Going down this road just turns the front-page into a (much) worse Joystiq or Destructoid.

I can understand how Costello would be under the misconception that branching out is "always good," however in the case of a properties' (GBAtemp's) identity, this is just dilution. You need to put more emphasis on the homebrew and hacking community, rather than less. That is what gives GBAtemp value.
