MGR: Building community

Okay, so I've been dinking around with the idea of phasing out the navbar
altogether.  For MMPBEM games, it's a moot point, since all pages will
live on the Phoenyx anyway, and will have whatever navigation we put in
the Wiki.

So I ran my handy-dandy log analyzer, and came up with the following
statistics for last month's navbar clicks:

sitehome 173
web_read 59
join_group 39
grouphome 11
settings 9
related_groups 8
email 7
unknown 4
help 2

...Which is kind of interesting; people are apparently seeing the Phoenyx
name and clicking through out of curiosity.

... Which means they now realize your game runs on a roleplaying server,
and not just J. Random Mailing List Provider.  A lot of Phoenyx users
*still* don't seem to realize that (note to self:  must put out another
newsletter).

On the other hand, the navbar was displayed 13,745 times to get those
numbers.  That's a lot of overhead (since it's still not a mod_perl
script).

What are the thoughts on the navbar?  Would everyone prefer to have a
"settings" page that expands on all the navbar functions, and just "do
your own thing" when it comes to expressing your affiliation with the
Phoenyx?
