Fixing the Front Page

Let's just admit it. Our front page has seen better days.

For one, the latest activity box doesn't work and thinking about it, I can't remember when it did...

Also nobody's used the forum the last few years and why would they, when we use blog posts instead?

As such, I propose some changes. I removed some code and put the rest at User:Aximillio/Test, but as I'm doing this anyway, I figured I'd ask whether there were some other things people would like to see on the front page? Or maybe something less? Does this work on phones for instance?

Also: I've been looking at the shortcuts (places, stories etc.) and I've been thinking that some of the links, such as Storylets are a bit hard to navigate and that maybe some other things should go there instead. Such as the Making your name-stories or something else. Any suggestions or other thoughts on this?

Edit: I just realized this was an ongoing discussion already. That's what happens when you're gone for a while, I guess...
