How about we move the Site Announcements out of the forums and over to the blogs? That way whenever there is a new post it will appear in the box at the upper right corner of the forums page with the other recent blog updates. This way it will be less likely that someone will miss an important post like a scheduled outage for example.

Originally posted by KewpiePlease, no. When I'm on that page, I want to see my pending games, and I want to see the relevant details for that page. I don't want to be distracted by a pop-up.
The one page that everyone goes to (except for trolls of course) is the MyGames page. That's the screen where a popup should appear if there's a recent announcement, IMHO.
If you want a pop-up like that to appear anywhere, perhaps on the My Home page. Even that I'd find suboptimal compared to the current situation (with which, frankly, I do not see the problem - you're interested in site announcements, you go to the Announcements forum, job done), but at least it would be better than having it clutter up the My Games page.

The problem I have with the current set up is that you can check the site announcements for three weeks and not see one new post. Then as soon as you stop checking you miss something.
My suggestion doesn't add anything new to the site. It just utilizes what is already in place. The site announcements can even stay in the forums. I just think adding it to the blogs as well will make the announcements more visible.
