Thank you all for your input.
Yorick and Cloudy,
I do see your points and I agree to some extent, but I feel that threads based on Current World Events might now and then cause conflict in GD the same way that the initial war threads did, not to mention that a lot of people who chat and play around in GD are probably not interested in threads along the lines of which I was thinking.
My idea was more along the lines of newsroom chat,
not serious discussions as you should be able to discern from my reply to Skywalker..."Serious Discussions" is a title that leaves the door open to too many subjects and some of those, it would turn out,
should be part of IW's General Discussion Forum. I meant continuing this forum for the sake of discussing political and religious events, economics, and basic world
news that isn't really in the interest of
General readers if you can understand.
I did not like MH's method of separating everything myself and this is not at all what I was proposing to Ziroc. Sorry you misunderstood!
To say that its "just another example of humans need to categorise and segment what should be freeflowing, interchanging and alive." is IMO really a bit harsh lol.
My idea was as I have explained, is not separating
all conversation into different catagories, just giving a place to issues for more people alert and willing to converse on current world NEWS events.
Anyway, I hope I have made myself clear enough to the two of you and yes, it is up to Ziroc in the long run what will become of this forum.
(This thread is still open for more comments on the positive/negative aspects of the idea that anyone wants to include in a discussion for or against the idea.
