Official News topic

[yaburu]

Because the posting of interesting news stories is getting a wee bit out of control. Just post whatever you find here.



EDIT by Stuckey: And this is the verbal warning for everybody: If you post a topic about a news story, the topic will be locked and you will receive a board warning.
Now if it's something REALLY important, then PM me about it and I may give the ok to make a seperate topic for it.

I wonder if this will be as popular now.

Dunno. The last time I tried to condense a bunch of other threads into one (the official celebrity death thread) it went to shit.

Would massive disasters, declarations/ends of war, or the termination of one of the most wanted people on Earth qualify for their own topic?

Those would be the ones I'd probably allow. Just make sure I get a PM about it first.

[Showa Gyaos]

Will the ones that have been made before this topic's establishment be kept open?

[Hellspawn28]

I think we should fused the minor news thread into this thread and keep it sticky. That's how the news thread on Evageeks works.

Breaking news: this is dumb.

Harold Camping has been found.

Because Stuckey never responded to my request to post this in the Video Gaming subforum, I'll post it here:

Unauthorized Internet tournament streaming could soon become a criminal offense.

It seems like Harold refuses to believe that he is wrong, and seems like he wants to find a way to prove that he is right. No one is going to take him serious anymore after he was wrong twice . I find it sad that people like this use religion to create fear and worry in people.

No, of course not. Those aren't major news stories.

Major ones should be the birth of puppies under an interstate bridge, the death of the world's oldest chicken, or a competition to see who can blow the biggest loads going horribly wrong.

Most news stories brought up on this forum can run ten pages, why confine them to an area where multiple topics can arise that have nothing to do with the subject people are trying to reply to.

I agree some news stories posted are border-lined retarded, but still, this is a cluttered way of doing it. We just need some common sense choosing a topic to discuss.

EDIT: Whatever happened to that AIDS topic?

[Stuckey]

Stickying this for the hell of it.

Yeah! Stick it Stuckey!

This topic is going to get so skreeonk cluttered with debates and new stories that it's gonna' become completely useless. Just make a new f'n sub-forum for news.

It's not hard.

Who the hell cares anyway? Most of the news stories people were posting topics about were generally useless or sensationalist crap anyway.

You let the first skreeonk go but you censored the second? You have an allotment of cuss words you can't go over in a day or something?

Oh, and you're just jealous that I made a thread that got stickied and you didn't. So nyah.

In all seriousness though, I don't think this is going to get really cluttered to be honest. If anything, I think people will start getting a little pickier about what stories they post. At least that's what I hope will happen anyways.

Meh. It's not so much censoring. I just alternate between "skreeonk" and "f'n." Do it in real life also, strangely.
