Does anyone use "What's New?" tab?

[SliceOfDog]

Daryn and I are working on making the forum a bit easier to navigate, and hopefully more user-friendly. I couldn't help but notice the What's New? tab at the top of the page. It served a purpose once upon a time, but now we have the much superior (in my opinion) Recent Threads system, which does practically the same job but on a greater scale, can be accessed more immediately and minimised for members who don't like it.

Which leaves me wondering if we need to keep the What's New? tab at all. Does anyone use it? Can anyone see a situation where they might use it in the future?
If no one does we'll probably get rid of it.

Ah... no. No I don't use that.

Didn't know it existed till you said something.

Pretty much. So yeah, I wouldn't miss it if it is removed.

I use it. I guess that I certainly could use Recent Threads instead, though.

Haha, right. Well this is interesting, Daryn and I were ready to chop it before these two most recent comments. Rys, themnax, would you miss it if it were gone?

[themnax]

not really. home/top page seems to automatically highlight the most recent activity anyway.

[Rys]

No, I don't think so. I click it by reflex upon logging in at this point, but I could easily retrain myself.

I've just been using the New Posts link

I personally have just been visiting often enough to catch the new posts in the Recent Threads section.

Cool, thanks everyone. It'll go then, and one by one we'll declutter the site
