I think you only need one 'non-serious' forum to cover the current "General" and "Light Relief"

In much the same way as the zoo only needs one cage for the lions and the antelopes.

Although they both contain , , , and , they are still different.

General varies between and .

Light Relief is from to with a bit of .

Not sure if admin is still accepting suggestions but here is one anyway.

I also visit the forum on PistonHeads and one of their features is quite good.

It's a feature where a news article links into forum posts discussing the topic of the news article.

If you visit the PistonHeads homepage and click one of the news articles then scroll down the bottom of it, you will see a link at the bottom saying "xx comments on this story" where xx equates to the number of posts. I am assuming that when they publish a new news article, that link starts off saying something like "comment on this article".

When I read news items highlighted in the weekly CUK newsletter, I have thought it would be handy to have such a feature because it links the news with appropriate debate - it's very rare that you see forum members taking news items and starting a debate with them in the forums because, I suspect, it is currently a 'manual' cut 'n' paste process.

Hope my description above makes sense.

Good idea

Just as long as it doesn't all go horribly wrong, and we start getting innumerable emails about AtW's lunch

I suggested in a PM to admin that maybe having a "news" forum with links and discussions to genuine news articles - IIRC, the PCG has a similar thing.

And I also said that it might take some time to educate AtW that his lunch is not news.

We could have three news forums. One for serious news, one for frivolous/entertaining news, and one for the Daily Mail.

You've already made a mistake there. There is no news in the Daily Mail!
