Thank You for Breaking Up Breaking News

This, in and of itself, was a problem. Want something to get noticed by a lot of people? Put it in BN despite it not actually being Breaking News.

yah ALSO you'd have 97 billion useless posts in threads because it was general discussion v1.8

If you wanted news on the latest raid you would have to scroll through 100 WBM or newest videos posts and vice versa

Fair game reports were getting lost all together

good fix is good

stop BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWING

if it's not raid news or fair game news, stick it in media. media can be the new 'central hub' of enturbulation.

i can't help but feel that if "media" were renamed "breaking news" and fair game and raid reports were left as their own full sub-forums of breaking news, no one would have any problem with this.

I agree that there is no central hub, I think I phrased that wrong. But I'm pretty sure you get what I mean.

Also, completely honest, if Media was renamed Breaking News, I'd be very happy. My problem is that there are certain things that don't fit into those three categories, renaming media would fix this.

I know, small concern is small, but I think it would get rid of most/all of the baaaawwwwww going on here.

Because change is bad, we must go back to the old ways or no one will know what to do!

You want to see what's the buzz on actual RL raids and such? You know - the things Anonymous is actually DOING about Scientology and not just TALKING ABOUT IT? Then click on Raids & Leaks. You want to follow up specifically on the Co$' Fair Gaming tactics - which is a pretty serious fucking subject, you know - then Click on Fair Game.

These aren't "sub-forums". For Frith's sake - they're on the FRONT PAGE of the Forums section! You don't want to have to surf through "three different forums" to find out what's new? Well, some of us are sick of having to surf through A DOZEN of pages to find out about something that actually JUST happened, simply because a tired old story about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' baby has been bumped - AGAIN - with pointless chatter.

I was in a Raid this last weekend and I couldn't even find the Thread about it until this forum division happened. Why? Because it was buried under a ton of other Threads - most of which are all on the same goddam topic!

This.

I really, really like the breakup of topics. It was always hard to find the items I was interested in within BN; Fair Game and Raids are two things I always wanted to access quickly and easily, and finding threads related to that within the giant clusterfuck of BN was nigh-impossible. Now I can go to a forum specifically for Raids? Fucking YES.

old linkage still works... i think


can't we have both? divided by 3 breaking news and alltogether breaking news?

My logic is that everyone is an idiot until proved otherwise, so yes.

This would create an even bigger clusterfuck than we had to deal with before.

This

More clicking =

its suck

Take it from someone who is not so computer forum savvy, I am lost!

gotta say i don't care for how breaking news was broken up either.

.

...what if the Media section was renamed Breaking News and the Breaking News Forum was renamed Current Events? Would that make sense, or is it really that confusing to have fair game and raids separated into their own forums, with everything else that was breaking news in the media section?
