Would it be a bad idea if we created a World News board, or something similar, as part of the Discussion board? I created the SOPA thread because it does have some relevance to FH, in the way that it pertains to everything on the internet, but I saw another thread pop up on politics, and there are a few other non-internet/FH related issues that I believe would be helpful to promote.
Basic rules can be applied - nothing rude or hateful, nothing commercial... etc. The board would be to promote certain causes, provide information and ways for FH users to reach out and help; it would allow for younger users to be better aware of the world around them - since I doubt many of them will purposefully look into those issues on their own. It can also be for debate over politics or the like.
Would this type of board cause too much drama?
