Do we Need a News Forum?


DaMan

Recommended Posts

We get a bunch of news posted in all of the forums. This is rather unorganized. Most of the time when someone posts a news story a good debate starts in the thread.

Don't you think it time for a news forum so all the news that is posted is in one place?

It could be a good thing. But at the same time I notice alot of the good debates spawning from the news that we post here. But I say we can give it a shot.

That'd be pretty sweet...could you make it to where stuff automatically appeared on here from CNN and FNC and other places?

 

This would also get more going, since we would use more...most likely...

I could add that. As long as the site has an rss feed and has a fairly good excert of the news.

Since it looks like most want this I'll start on some scripts to grab the news and see what I can come with.

And they won't be 90% about Florida too. Sounds great. I'll bet it will be a big hit.

Hmm, could we get it from more than one News Source?

As a general idea, this sounds great - and it organizes things nicely.

 

Yet........

 

as you say... good debates can flow ... and sometimes/often, the news story illustrates the thread starters point or is the jumping off point ...

 

news story ---- pisses me off

news story --- debate... what do you think?

news story --- speaking my mind

 

so... it would also seem that if you wanted to use a news story to rant, it goes in the pisses off section .. if you want to use one to open debate, it goes in the debate section... etc.

 

I wouldn't want to not be able to reference a story in the appropriate forum cuz it's not in the right area.

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings. - Buddha
