With the positing of the lineup of PDEG, I have realised that this doesn't come up on the main page for me. Same as the other news such as dreamhack etc
In my opinion you (the admins) should major the other games news as well.
So far I've only seen ET-related stuff on the main page while other content was main news worthy for sure
I don't think we should have a distinction between Main and Other news at all. There should be other ways to prioritise certain "important" news items with stickies, filtering and maybe some new option I didn't think of yet.
Then they read everything. Information exchange is fast and furious nowadays and whereas people used to have a limited amount of time at home to read up on stuff, now they just browse their damn smartphone all day long. I think we should/could use our pretty nifty notification system to alert people about new content that tickles their fancy (keywords or something like that).
Totally agree with you; didn't think further than what CF3/4 proposed but you are completely right.
Admins should simply be more "severe" when accepting newsitems
Some notification saying
"X posted a newsitem about Starcraft/eSports/ET,.." and as a poster you should use the according tags (like the usertags at the moment, admins should control those)
Would be good enough wouldn't it?
Infact - Out of the News on the side bar, there is only the newspost of Baggiez and the LAN groups that I can see in main news. None of the below in the other news.
Cracow Gamespot LAN Groups! Robert 20
ESL Summer Signups - 58h left! Sn4kE. 4
Dreamhack brings you Counterstrike... Rickk 15
LighT eSports losing a Zerg Rickk 5
This Week in Gaming - July 23rd Baggiez 29
news relevent to Crossfire or ET such as the PDEG post, ESL summer series and Baggiez weekly gaming update should always be majored whereas I think the newsposts about random lineup changes of players in CS etc should stick to other news.. maybe LAN announcements should be on the mainpage even if they're not related to ET because most of CF play other games (too).
Coverage on other games will definitely bring more traffic, great move I think, I too read those but my main interests are with stuff that happens in this very community and not on hltv.org
Keep in mind they made CF4 hoping for more traffic/newcomers
So if someone comes randomly on Crossfire, and sees newsposts about some random game from 2003 he will not click much more, in my opinion mainstream games (read StarCraft II, Shootmania, League of Legends) should be majored if the content is any worthy
keep in mind that no one wants new cancerous members from cancerous games.. I do not see how new users from other games than et would be any beneficial for this page, niggu

This PDEG post is no where to be seen.
This is 'Other News':
This is 'Main News':
