OK So we've had a bit of a discussion in the December VCS thread.
It was about how we could get active threads.
Gameplay had an idea for a thread that you can talk about all the news.
But I sort of modified that to a whole forum dedicated to News.
I think it would be great to have it.
You could start a thread about a interesting or funny news article you found online. Then put a link in for it. Then everyone could discuss it.
I seriously think this idea would be awesome.
What does everyone else think?

I agree, with the news that's around you, let everyone know. I'm sure there can be tons of threads made from it. Making more activity.

I know I personally would post a heap in there.
As long as people don't post every single story they come by and just post interesting ones then it would be great.
You could browse sites like Yahoo News, BBC, all the news company sites.

I dunno. I'm guessing within the forum now that we should have subject threads to post news in because I can see people creating a thread for EVERY piece of news they get their hands on.. That would be very irritating.

Yeah but the thing about havinga thread for each subject means, that you can't talk about 1 thing for a long time and everything get's jumbled up.

I personally don't think an extra forum is needed for "news" as there are plenty of spots one could slot different news articles into.
For example political stories would go in Debate and Logic, movie news would go in Entertainment, world issues could go in Café Corner, etc etc.
My opinion.

Are there so many threads about news that you have to make a forum for it?

If there aren't, then the forum is obviously not needed.

I suppose, but it can almost be like a newspaper, all in one spot. Just be like hmmmm, I wonder what news is out there and go to news and go to news and say hey, that's interesting, I would have never looked for that in the forums. It's right here. Ha, if you know what I mean.

DH: I would personally like the idea of just adding 'news' to a certain forum (Like geeo has just said) rather than mixing it up.

DM: Again geeo's idea would get rid of that. Because then even if people don't post much, the forum will still have posts like it used to.

Geeo: Nice idea!!
It would actually fit really well in there.
Maybe just change the name slightly though so people know there's news articles and things like that in there.

I do agree with Geeo's idea, and if we really need a News forum, then that would probably be the best way to implement it.

Great idea I agree with it as well. I have just renamed Debate and Logic to Debate Logic & News Discussion.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of this thread and ask if anyone else thinks that the "conservative" part of the Christian Conservative forum should join up with the debate/news forum...

I just don't see why christian and conservative fit together.... I figure conservative at least points towards politics which would go better into the news forum than not.

Not that the christianity forum gets much activity.... but at maybe this way the newbies might get that it is a religious forum.... and that the other is politics/news etc...

Why not name it "Religion" or something else then, as it stands it looks like it is just a place to discuss Christianity only.
