🖥️ UX/UI Do you find value in a forum sidebar?

One of the new features of IPS is a vertical menu, presented as a sidebar.

What widgets you currently have in your sidebar? Do you find users interacting that much with your sidebar? Do you find value in your forum sidebar?

I do like the sidebar option that most forums have now and have found them to be useful for many things.

At the moment the widgets we have in our sidebar are

• Advertising banner space
• My forum stats with my avatar
• Tip Goal
• Daily Goals
• Referral URL
• Streamer Panel - This contains all the information for live streamers pointing them to areas where they can add their streams to the stream showcase, feature their stream, become verified on the forum, how to apply for Partnership at Revillution, and information on how to become a successful streamer
• Staff Online
• Members Online
• Who has Visited Today
• Latest Posts
• Latest Profile Posts
• Friends of Revillution - Affiliate banners
  Top Referrers
• Featured Content
  Trending Content
  Latest Shop Items
  Forum Stats

I would like to tone down the sidebar section as I feel we have a lot going on and we are hoping to get to that at some point.
