Traceve Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I was thinking that seeing as News articles get posted every couple of weeks (sometimes days) how about just starting up a News 2009 thread and then putting them all in there so it's less cluttered?
Eli Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I think there used to be a news thread actually... Not sure what happened to it though, I don't think anybody really used it...
Jess Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I was thinking that seeing as News articles get posted every couple of weeks (sometimes days) how about just starting up a News 2009 thread and then putting them all in there so it's less cluttered? But some of them, like the Jade Goody cancer thread, are quite active within themselves, and I think it'd get pretty confusing if there were just a bunch of people discussing random different bits of news from around the world - it'd make the thread pretty difficult to follow, IMO.
Eli Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I kinda have to say I agree, Jess. I think it could be a good idea to use the idea of a common news thread though, and just merge news threads that are no longer very active or something. Ideally we could say all small stuff in one thread, and big stuff that will attract a lot of discussion should have its own thread, but it's kinda hard to draw that line

You're agreeing with me quite a lot tonight! I am, of course, just generally awesome, though. :cool: Yeah, maybe we should just merge old news threads as they get less active. Although, tbh, GC is pretty fast moving, so stuff disappears off the front page quite quickly.
-Kevin- Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I agree about having a general news thread , especially with the likes of the Jade Goody thread Jess. Could there be a seperate news thread for actual news ??
Traceve Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I didn't mean merge the Jade Goody one, obviously because that one is so active. I was thinking more along the lines of those that get posted and get little or no response at all.
martha-jack Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 ^^ yer i agree otherwise its just a complete waste of space if its not getting any/less replies
.Amy. Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Then what about a news subforum? Like television and Neighbours... Just an idea
Zetti Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 To be honest I cannot see the point in a news sub forum within general chat, if there was an influx of news articles then maybe it would be a plausibe idea but that isnt really the case. Just how I feel.
