Daz Type-R Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Mods / admins / anybody who cares. Just a suggestion (feel free to ignore if you think it's daft) but do you think it worth while if we have a new section named News Feed (or something) where we can all post all the feeds we have found from BBC, Sky news etc etc which will free up the Astro General Disccussion (unless you feel that is where they belong). Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've often thought the same Darren - lets see what everyone thinks - but a news feed section seems more logical for the content in there and a seperate discussion area would get my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I find Twitter quite useful for that. I post my own stuff but also tweet things of general interest. I'm Astro Chav there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 If we do, the astro general area will become quite dead. Surely the news are about general astronomy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I wouldn't think so Craig - cos there would be one section for Astro Chatting and one for Astro News feeds. Constant news feeds always have the effect of breaking up conversation threads. When I'm watching TV I always watch a film right through and it would be irritating to have constant news items coming up in the middle. I always deliberately switch to news to find out what's going on - but that's just me - easily irritated lol. Good topic though - it'll be interesting to know what everyone else thinks - we need more repsonses ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Kim has said exactly what I wanted to say Craig's the main culprit for hogging the Astro General section, but he doesn't half keep us up to date with some really interesting stuff, thanks Craig Maybe we should have a new section called Craigs Newsround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Maybe we should have a new section called News, Craig's round Now that's not very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Even though Craig does a great job with his own News feeds, the articles do not get much responde, alot of them zero responses so in the end we could end up with a section full of no responses. I much prefer to keep news feeds in Astro general section, it fills this section up more. Nothing worse then an unused section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Why not compromise, have a sub section within the Astro discussion board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 "the articles do not get much responde, alot of them zero responses" Yeah - I noticed that too Mick. I rarely look at them myself - cos there are so many, and, most of the time I've seen the article in the Astro press, regular press, or on TV already.

philjay Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I agree with Mick, keep them in the Astro General section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
