Look at how many topics are made by either me or the Cat Man now.\
Hell even Thai won't bother with it anymore.

OK and all you did was make a topic complaining a section was dying what's the point in all this.

Rather, do you have any suggestions for the section?

So people remember that they can post news stories and that no one is enforcing the,"atleast one story per month rule."
EDIT:I was wondering if there's something to be done so more people besides me and purple post stories so it gets more activity.

You're right, there's nothing worth reporting that you can't find on a newspaper or a big news site these days. Really I kinda don't see the point of the section anymore.

It'll eventually die just like the Debate section did.

Well, I enjoy discussing the news with other MG members, maybe just make it a place to only DISCUSS the news? Open up new topic posting abilities for everybody, and just discuss recent happenings?

I don't know, I'm not sure it would lead to a healthy debate seeing as not only does it require some knowledge of the topic, "experts" sometimes make things up, like that Google buying up 4chan claim I read about yesterday (and a great laugh was had).

I personally support opening it up.

While I do see your point, it wouldn't be any different than managing any other section. Facts would be double-checked, and debates that degenerate into flames would be locked.

That's the exact opposite of the entire site.

Turning it into a new debate section isn't going to work. I mean, remember the last time we had a debate section?

^ I like this suggestion, since I really like the idea of a place to keep discussing some of the silly news stories out there. Plus I'd hate to see the section completely die.

I definitely don't want it to be a debate section, but I think it could work if we either

A) Add more members to the News Crew or
B) Just open it up to all to post news
