Default News Section in The Lounge

I figured having a dedicated News subforum will keep things a little more organized. People like to post news (especially HighwaySpeed), but all of it is scattered throughout off-topic. As weird as it sounds, I get a big chunk of my news information from these people that post news.

Wouldn't a subforum dedicated to only news be beneficial?

You need to move out of the frozen tundra and get news via internet instead of by paper delivery.... just a thought.

But a section for news might be a good idea, as long as people don't get hostile about comments meant to foster a civil debate.

Most of the news that is posted on here is bunk crap & not real world impacting, seems that some are just posting from their local regions. So maybe a news sub forum might be a decent idea if we could get news from respected news sources some from outside of the US & not U-tube !!!

I'm not talking about the video ones. I'm talking about the news reports from CNN, and other reputable sources.

Yes I know what you are talking about, lets just hope some of the people here also know what are good reliable & credible news sources.

Blagh, I'd love to be a specific subforum moderator, just to keep junk that doesn't belong there out.

I know what you mean tho, and it would mean someone would need to watch it, or at least put a disclaimer that only reputable sources can be posted.

Silverstone - Z you have PM'd the mods asking about this idea right?? I think this will be a great new area, but it will have to be closely moderated.

I kinda thought you would run it by one of the mods or possibly create a poll to guage interest and let a mod or 2 know about this new possible news section.
