The point is to create a national event archive that everyone can enjoy for the upcoming year ! 
Perhaps even global.

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.

Change the topic title, or this topic is getting closed.
Posted by: Deetard Oct 30 2008, 11:42 AM
change it to "no one gives a fuck about what's happening in d.c., but i'll tell you anyway because my topics are just sooo cute!"
thanks

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.
Posted by: Deetard Oct 30 2008, 01:43 PM
this topic will only be good for travelers, or the 2 whole people that live by you.
Posted by: Deetard Oct 30 2008, 01:50 PM
which my post pretty much implies that it's not necessary.

Although, it's true that this probably won't go anywhere.
Posted by: brooklyneast05 Oct 30 2008, 01:55 PM
i don't know what comes next. 
Posted by: superstitious Oct 30 2008, 01:58 PM
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.
Posted by: Deetard Oct 30 2008, 02:00 PM
rico probably won't be back.
Posted by: superstitious Oct 30 2008, 02:00 PM
