Would be a good idea to put a News Room in the Other section.

Every now and then people can just go in there and check the latest news (that's worth reading).

Obviously it won't be packed with every bit of news there is but you know if someone actually does post in there you know it won't be a waste of time.

Possible?

Naa news in general. Grime news would be for Grime discussion wouldn't it?

Yeah just wondering. Should have both coming before long through RSS Feeds. But we need to find out if we need to get permission from BBC/Telegraph or somewhere to use their feeds on a public website.

Oh yeah that's true, although I'm sure that if you show that you got your source from them then you're allowed to post it. A lot of bloggers that write about films, music, news etc. all have some long article then at the bottom it says " Source: http://www.somesourcewebsite.com "

I may be wrong but might as well just wait to be safe.

It's being perfected. The RSS feeds we had we're spamming up the room alot. Was getting a bit crazy. But the one we have now hasn't delivered 1. lol.

We'll be bringing it back though, and working with anyone who can give any feedback to make it useful and easy to browse for users.
