Haha... Yeah the reason I have 2 rep bars is because although I have tonnes of +rep, I used to have a few mods who hated me. I've been -repped 3 times by Silverhawk on the same thread, and it was a news thread! Apparently my opinion isn't shared, hahaha.
I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news.
