Default Extras updates

I don't know how popular this opinion is going to be but I have felt that lately the new games that are being added to the site are not getting the exposure they need. The reason, in part, is because the new extras updates are pushing them off the front page in a matter of 4-5 days. I think it's great that so many people are contributing extras as they are very important but let's be honest, the site traffic and board discussion is driven more by new games than extras.

I think we can lessen the problem if we combine a single days extras updates into one news item instead of making 2-3 news items in a single day for box and manual updates. Is it possible to credit more than one contributor and create the links to the additions all in one item? Another solution could be to expand the number of front page items from 10 to 15. What does anyone else think?

Agree.
We have solution: to make particular news "sticky". We used it only once for Abandonia Contest #5. After some time updater can remove "sticky" and news will sink.

Romano, i like that idea. That way new games could be made sticky for something like seven days and then they could filter down like everything else.
