On Kai's recommendation, I'm trying out a new addition to the forums. To help out folks interesting in following news, a news aggregator has been set up here. It'll collect news from forum-relevant sites and post it regularly as its reported. People can feel free to reply to interesting articles if they like, and if an especially active discussion gets started, the thread can be moved to the main forum. Otherwise, articles'll get pruned after 21 days of inactivity.
There are three feeds set up right now: ENWorld, SJGames, and GamingReport.com. If there are any others that people here think might be useful, go ahead and suggest them. I'd ask you all stick to sites that are somehow relevant to the idea of this being an RP forum, though; I don't want to get too off-message with this.
