this. don't get rid of the homepage even if there's nothing there now. just leave the forum as boyah.net/forums.
Well, you could always implement a homepage as part of boyah 2.0
move it to doodthing.boyah.net/ or boyah.net/doodthing/ because boyah is derived from doodthing

wat be on it
If nothing else, links to the forums and the status blog/twitter/whatever else. (And maybe the various streams.) Or just have it be the status blog. Or just a fancy splash page with an oversized doodthing; on it, or anything else on it. Or maybe you guys could do those product reviews again.
And I know there's been other ideas thrown around at various times, but I can't remember anything more specific.
keep it on /forums. there are plans for boyah.net
I wanted to vote to leave it as /forums, but I hit the wrong option. :(

why would we put the status blog on the same server as the forum
then people wouldn't be able to check the status blog if the server is down

really...
To have random posts appear and read by that creepy robot voice that is used for people who can't see.
maybe a god or something in the background, like ganesh or satan or richard dawkins

I would make it my homepage.
keep it at /forums so as not to fuck up my autocomplete and browsing history

Um, because you can redirect boyah.net to status.boyah.net
Seriously, JMV? And we went through this the last time this was brought up too.

yeah last time I think we said that without doing a dumbass html redirect on boyah.net, you can't redirect boyah.net but not boyah.net/forums without making a subdomain forums.boyah.net for the forums, which is altogether too much hassle just to put the status blog on boyah.net.

no that idea sucks because the status blog is on its own subdomain domain solely for the fact that if boyah.net's server is down then status.boyah.net is still up since it's on a different server (tumblr's server)
Hosting the status blog on this server would do us no good when the server crashes and people try to check the status blog to see if and why the server is down. akudood;
yes obviously but I assumed we would direct boyah.net and boyah.net/forums (forums.boyah.net) to different servers. it's easy.

right. it would have to be status.boyah.net and forums.boyah.net, and boyah.net/forums could no longer be used. though easy, i'm now saying it's too much hassle for something that doesn't really need to be done.
Well it also shouldn't be done because because the status blog doesn't really get much use. But it was just one of a few ideas of possible use for the homepage that has been thrown around before.
