How about making the front page more sophisticated? Three buckets: popular, upcoming, new. The popular bucket is what you have now, and gets 25 slots. Upcoming gets 3 slots, and new gets 2. "New" is the two most recently posted links. If they receive an upvote or two, they get into upcoming. I think that'd help worthy links make it to the front page.
