Trying out a new "News Feeds" forum

QUINNSCOMMENTARY brought up the subject again of FG having a more "newsy" area within the forums. I've always liked the idea. So, with his push, here are the first few forums.

Thoughts? Comments?

Re: Trying out a new "News Feeds" forum

And as an addendum: The discussions in this area would remain more serious and on-topic.

I think it would take a miracle for this to happen...

Re: Trying out a new "News Feeds" forum

I saw that on another forum. Yesterday's conversations got lost because of the flood of new threads. Any way to reduce the sheer volume of newsfeeds?

Good idea. Let's hope it works. *keeps fingers crossed*

Hopefully, this will also help prevent folks from improperly posting news articles from here on out.

You're right. That's something I am working on. There are so many filters that need to be put in place. I've got it pretty well filtered off the top page...but there's so much more to do.
