This was a decision made as department based, as opposed to community based. It was to increase forum exposure for the news department. When we make department improvements we tend to just make them when they're minor, though we ask about big programs like the HxSS and that sorta thing.

EDIT: I realize I should have posted more. That it is department based does not mean its here to stay, I'm just explaining why we didn't "ask the community". We will make a decision on whether it stays or goes at a later point but we're going to give it a chance first
