Nate had made the suggestion of bringing back the Current Events Forum.

We briefly had a Current Events forum and for the most part, it was beloved. However, there were times when posting there became a bit stagnant and eventually, when there was a Forum Reorganization, the Current Events Forum went good-bye.

Here are a couple of past threads that touched on the subject.

Personally, I'd love to see the Current Events Forum make a come-back. It's an excellent way of getting those intellectual juices flowing.

Ah, yes. I remember the complaints about the Current Events forum dissapearing.

I think a current events forum would be great.
It would clean up the lounge some too.

but, micron didnt want that.

do you remember his goal?
he wants to make cb lounge active again.

It would be active without all of the current events in there.

i mean ... "more active"

something like that. i dont remember.

^2x I agree.
There arent a lot of current events in there anyways, and they always get lost (go beyond page 1) because people are posting in the other threads.

I would like to see it back.

The Lounge will never be not active. Not to mention, I don't exactly see the point in making it more active than it needs to be. The forums should be healthy, not rabid. And, I think given the Current Events forum, we can help to promote more quality posting and spread more of a community on the boards. As a bonus, people will have a better chance of learning about the world around them, and being able to discuss related issues. I'm all for it, and I hope to see it soon.

^ amen.

i never understood why it was one of the forums to go away in the first place...

i want it back.

Halleluja.

* bump*


I want it back.

I know I sound like a 2 year old, but mainly, i'm trying to bump the thread. :P

Yeah, well, I'm going to make it in a few minutes. :) I said it backstage, but: even though I don't like having more subforums, Current Events would be highly appreciated by many people.

I know, I felt so stupid. I posted this, and then I went backstage and read it.


I'm so stupid sometimes.

well that IS good news.

time for a topic moving spree.

lucky staff.

^ Waaaaahhhhhh

jk Well worth the effort for bringing Current Events back. :)

I've moved 3 pages worth of topics in there just now.

Although, it ruined the concept of having one-word forum names under Interests.

Would 'News' be a better name? It's not specific to what kind of news (i.e. World News) though.

Heehee people/head staff get to move topics

Design staff did MASSSS cleaning, so there. [;

Hmm. That's a good idea. Although "events" might fit also. xD

Well then, this thread has served its purpose, hasn't it?

Perhaps the (semi)new forum should be announced in the minor changes thread.

^ Done. =]


And closed.
