We will be looking to give community content more visibility on the site. In the first version of the redesign things will not be that different from how they are today, though, but it is something we have discussed and which has "a place" in the new design, where it had no really good place before. AHP needs to be rethought. It is more or less hidden on the site today, which is why the ad it had on the front page was so important. Unfortunately, this led to the ad being quite misused, since everyone wanted the top spot all the time. I don´t think it is fair to blame poor Cartoon United for anything, implementing that has not taken many hours in the grand scheme of things.

Do you plan on making HT a bit more "social"? There's a potential for some kind of a social network here. I think a nice evolution of Supporter would be more flexibility in terms of how you connect with others - more "privacy" for those that want that, more "intimacy" for those that want that. You might want to support different users in different ways.

Hattrick Supporter already is a social network feature and it has been since 2001, before Facebook even started. I think it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that Hattrick will die because we improve an existing Supporter feature a bit. I´m not talking about turning Hattrick into something that is primarily a social networking site. If we would plan to do something like that, I agree it would be silly to make it a paid service. The core things in Hattrick will continue to be free, just like they are today.

For many, even nowadays Hattrick operates primarily as a social network. I am here over 4 years and without the people I met here not sure I'd still be here. And I know quite a few the same as me. Sure. It´s an important aspect of Hattrick and something we want to improve.
