Perhaps I'll be the only one that is against that idea but I like forums as they are, without posts on main AM website. We have sometimes quite private things here to discuss, some posts taken out of context may seem stupid or even rude. If someone is interested then they will glance at forums. I treat forums as kind of intimate place for our moon family, room that can have door opened but do we have to open all windows (even on Macintosh )?
I had sort of the same impression when I read Roger's post. In my mind, it's not the privacy issue (I can be just as rude in the black box!) but the fact that having the actual posts on the main page can be quite cumbersome...unless...it's just the one sentence like "new posts". If you put my show post up for example it would take up the whole page.

If what Roger is suggesting is an easier link to the forums, I'm all for that. Maybe widen the box and have bigger link, plus a description of what the forum is.
