Burka, I think it used to be more obvious in earlier versions of the software.The site is ad supported to keep it free, so the ads do add a bit of necessary clutter. No ads, no site.

I think on this site, the forums may have overtaken the rest of the site in terms of who uses it. Not sure how to figure that out. Maybe Charles has some tracking software that shows who visits what part of the site.

However, there are a lot of useful articles that are linked on the Home Page. Maybe the solution is to make the Home Page much more obvious for those who came in through the "back door" and never find the actual Home Page.
