[Request] News discussion forum
« on: December 12, 2010, 09:02:39 PM »
We have a general discussion and while I suppose you could just post it there me being me I more see it as a random discussion forum, to where if I see interesting news submissions around the net I'd like to share I wouldn't want to flood a forum with news threads UNLESS it was appointed for news threads.

I am probably the only one who thinks this but theres lots of options open for this if we create a news section alone we could set up feeds to 3 different sub forums. Canadian, American, and World news. I don't think its such a bad idea

such as this thread i just finished reading here http://www.tomshardware.com/news/memory-flash-nand-shortage-price,11789.html#xtor=RSS-998 and it gave me the idea to request this  just simply because I thought that they should have countermeasures against occurrences such as this.

plus it seems fitting because some people here actually seem to keep up with the news so why not have discussions about it.

Could have a news forum - but it would have to be limited to topics that the feeder pulls from.  I'd also like to see some other people showing interest in such a board before it is created.

This would pull news information in and create posts with the news info embedded, which would allow members to comment after reading it.

If such forum does come under serious discussion I do believe it would probably be a good idea to have discussion on where the feeds are pulled from also. I guess it could be limited to topics the feeder pulls from
