I'm kinda indifferent to the idea. I think it's pretty simple for new members... Click on the music genre you are interested in, find a thread that interests you, then comment.
On one hand, a homepage with a little flash to it might be more appealing to some people. More attractive and maybe that would entice some newer members to look around more and stick around. On the other hand, I used to post on a forum bigger than this. It was a lyrics site first and foremost so it was a little different, but the admin added a ton of stuff and tried to make it a poor mans myspace and it sucked. Just don't wanna see things start going down a slippery slope and get out of hand to be honest. I think simplicity is really nice most of the time.
