And with a topic title like Stick a D*ck in your ear and F*ck What you heard!, I'm sure it'll be pretty easy for people to search for this list of national events for the next year, too!

^ i thought it would be attention grabbing for not being closed.... perhaps if you'd like to.... you could change it to:
"Createblog National Event Database" only if you feel it's necessary of course. |

Topic title changed to: Createblog National Event/News Database
(it's a more appropriate title) I'll move this to Feedback since it's an idea for cB in general. As far my opinion, it's not a bad idea but I'm not sure if it is something that will see a lot of activity. Look at the News Forum, for example. Unless you're a celebrity, you have a third nipple or other such oddities chances are your topic won't see much in the way of responses. |

I prefer to treat Rico the same way I'd treat anyone who brings up these types of topics. Allow them to be heard, let them respond back and then move things over.
