In the default topic, “READ ME FIRST: Getting Started,” it says:

“We strongly recommend sticking with this homepage for small and medium  
communities until you start getting lots of new topics every day.”

Is there a discussion anywhere around here that gives some background on this recommendation? I ask because it’s not what I’m used to as a forum administrator, and I’d like to make sure I’m not missing anything before I consider changing the default view to something more traditional like Categories.
