Random: Our site news still says Happy Hanukkah. Srsly. There's been stuff done that's main site newsworthy. For instance:
-New Charts (Rivals 2, Heroes Special)
-Major bugfixes (Like this (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=2916.0))
-New Features (Division Icons or awards, for instance)
-Server news (such as out-of-chat explanation for OSNAP BRB GUYS)
-General bulletins such as this (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?board=1.0).
Makes it look like TSC's actually updated once in a while.

@Gerbil's newspost response: I mean when they actually happen. ¬_¬

The thing is, I've noticed when Gerbil does do (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=3106.0) something (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=2894.0), he posts (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=2916.0) the (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=3142.0) news (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=3023.0) in Information (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=2867.0) Kiosk (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=2820.0). (NB examples not in any order)
In my opinion, any change to site functionality (whether changing something old or introducing something new) is newsworthy. I don't see Information Kiosk as a news forum, considering it's description is "suggestions, comments and questions", and the news forum is "New and Updates".
Even if one little thing GS tweaks isn't worthy of an entire news post by itself, I think it would be better saved and posted along with other updates in a news post.
Particularly, things like the centisecond time bug should be front page to increase visibility. I, personally, seldom visit IK.
Not to mention the fact that Gerbil's constant tweaking with the site, although a good thing because it's all good work he's doing, is somewhat dominating IK. I think his small tweaks should be held until a weekly update if he wishes, or more major things deserving their own newspost can take some minor things with them.
This post was a lot longer than it needed to be. Odd :/
