[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 3000052, member: 4550"] Just to let you know, I love the site, Morrus, and in the several years I have been visiting, this has been my only pet peeve. :) The Ryan Dancey News did not specifically prompt this thread: I've been mulling it over since the first 4E News post. I also understand that my opinion is extremely unlikely to change how the site is operated, or what is or is not posted under news. But I thought I'd at least make it known, and see who else might agree. With that said, I would like to respond to your points: The essence of what you wrote seems to be that 4E stuff and industry professional opinions are interesting, and allow visitors who do not go to the forums to see these things. I completely agree, and I have appreciated how you have approached this exact issue in the past. Usually, a thread will be started, or a post made on someone's blog, and you post a link under "News." [b]"Monte Cook has spoken about his observations on the gaming industry at his personal website. You can read about it <<here>>."[/b] Or something similar. I would have far preferred a thread to be started regarding the "Eric Noah" info, and see a brief blurb on the main page. Something like [b]"Eric Noah has run across a rumor that looks somewhat credible. You can read about it <<at this link>>."[/b] I do find 4E rumors and industry opinions interesting, as well. I just don't think it should be regarded as "news." [/QUOTE]
