This could be solved by using the one-box method that Reddit uses - make the top of the home page a new story without regards to popularity. I like that feature a lot. Let's be real - people are going to do what's in their best interest - not what is good for the community. So, let's not count on people to vote and go to the New page. I think it's better to count on software engineering here, instead of social engineering.

What about the following idea: Always take the top-story off the front page and instead only show it on the "new" page? So the front page remains very useful, but if you want to look for the very top story, you also have to take a look at the new ones. Couldn't this be an adjustment to better "pivotize" the signal/noise problem? (Addition: It may be better to take the two (or three) most popular stories.)
