We now have a shiny new frontpage for new users coming to Neocodex that does exactly that. If you navigate to http://www.neocodex.us you will be able to see it (you might need to clear your cache or you'll just get redirected again).
This new frontpage explains what Neocodex is, explains some of the functions and features of the site, and is designed to be more inviting to new users than a list of forums. The idea is that we'll be able to present ourselves to new users with our best foot forward .
As you can see, we're not exactly design geniuses . If you have some better ideas of how we could lay things out on the frontpage, please let us know!
