Pretty much this.

If they made one, I probably wouldn't use it.

I would like to see a batch job written on the server that automatically removes the words "Breaking News" from the title after 2 days or so since the OP usually doesn't do it on their own.

Pin the thread temporarily , 12 -24 hours .

Give 'Breaking News ' a separate color while it's pinned . . . .RED-ALERT red , or green or yellow or something .

I will be happy to bump it, but it will cost you a week of Yugo use. Let me know when you are sending out the keys.

If a DUPE forum is started I think Johnny_Reno should get the moderator position.

There are certain forums on this site that aren't being utilized fully. I think we shouldn't start any others until the other forums have maximized their true potential.

GD attracts much more colorful commentary to what would normally be a boring venue
