(haven't read much of the thread i'm afraid, but wanted to say this) I liked the idea you had of having a customisable page for users, assuming it's possible it would be nice to be able to have the hot topics, most recent feed stories and chartz figures in a nice small list format.... as opposed to the huge space gamrfeed takes up currently (yes even in condensed view) The current homepage has gone someway towards that, but the gamrfeed section for example is a most popular rather than most recent, and sometimes I just can't be bothered going to gamerfeed itself, clicking condensed view each time (that's because I disable most cookies though, I know it would normally keep it condensed) then checking back.
Also for example I don't care about the reviews, the only reason I use that section of the site is because games without sales don't appear in the Chartz database, so it would be nice to be able to turn that off for some kind of custom page... if the custom page is not possible or a lot of work for little gain, then at least make it possible to view reverse chronoligical list of the gamrfeed stories on the current homepage.
