Celebrity News (Sub)Forum

[AgnesIO]

ofc we all click wat we like to read!
there is room for both types of threads to co-exist without having to push either into a subforum

In fairness, this is an excellent point; the Metro is a perfect example of how the two can co-exist together..

Not sure if these were aimed towards me as the OP or not but whether there is a sub forum created or not, I will be reading all the threads.

My reasons for posting is because people clearly enjoy these kinds of threads, they are the most popular. Sometimes when these types of threads are posted the are met with replies such as "This isn't even news" which make people less inclined to post such threads. If there is a section specifically for this kind if thread, people may be more inclined to post this increasing activity in this particular area of the forum

No it was just a general comment, i don't see how a subforum for these types of threads would make people stop posting "this isn't news"??? clearly they already have a predefined notion of what they consider news and no amount of subforums in the world will change their opinion on this... as the snob marketing stated he doesn't consider the sun or the star news, rather "light reading" lol....how is a subforum going to stop someone coming along and posting "this isnt news" ??


i don't see how it would also encourage people to post in these threads more... they are currently one of the most popular types of threads on the forum..

seems like a pointless suggestion for some brownie points rather than an actual benefit to anyone! soz but that what it seems like to me.

PERSONALLY, if something is more popular than something else, should that not be given preference.... it seems only fair to me. (ie, since it is agreed by everyone that the celeb news threads are clearly more popular, should that not get its own forum (currently current affairs) and make current affairs the subforum, since its less popular?

thats what happens with other forums when one thing is less popular..surely the same should apply here..
dont see why boring news in which about 3 people post in should get preference over threads that gather opinions from everyone..
@Chris; opinions???

Keep them in the Current affairs forum, current affairs doesn't just have to be about war, politics and economics.

I think maybe what's putting people off posting celebrity news in that forum is, as mentioned, that people feel they'll just get responses of 'this isnt news' or whatever. People should just ignore those comments. I read a few topics a day in the Daily Mail celebrity column, just I cba posting it on here as I haven't really got much to say and i'm more interested in the pictures : but who knows, maybe if more was posted in current affairs then we'd have more comments.

There's no point. No one is that mentally inept to have to have celeb and real news separated, so they know what is of interest to them. One of the main, practical uses for thread titles is to put words which will be of relevance to the user and seeing as you have a forum rule precisely for this reason you would be contradicting yourselves for creating a pointless sub-forum - seeing as it wasn't that long ago one of the main missions of this forum was to remove sub-forums as they were untidy, impractical and a waste of space and time.

[Kardan]

Just warn people that only post 'This isn't news' as pointless posting as it doesn't contribute.

If someone posts something like 'Not sure if this is news worthy, why does the media feel the need to report on Tom Daley's favourite colour?' then it should be left, because it's talking about the state of media today compared to OP posting silly threads. This sort of thing happens all the time in the politics threads anyways.

[mrwoooooooo]

doesnt need a subforum

miley cyrus wearing a piece of clothing is spam @subo; @sex; ¬.¬
