Idea to improve popularity of pools

It seems to me when dealing with something new, most people just prefer to use the "default". An example of this is in Chesstempo where "standard" mode is the default for puzzle solving and enjoys 10 times the popularity of "blitz" mode which requires one to go into preferences to use.
So the idea to improve pool popularity is just to make it seem more of the "default" way to play. Right now the pool buttons are all the way at the bottom of the "list" tab (and let's not even mention the pools tab), maybe if you put the pools above everything else it would pull in more people that just want a quick game.
This has already been talked about at length. No need to restart the conversation. There's already plans that follow suit with your suggestion.
