Default The merge of serious debates and news stories
I have been noticing a lot of...lets say...non-stories posted in here.

Whilst the two forums have been merged, this is still primarily, for serious discussions. For example, news about the riots, murders etc, etc.

Not for news such as 'a kangaroo is caught making crop circles' and things like that.

Whilst those are technically still news stories of they are in the papers or on tv, they arent really the kind of thing we need in this forum, and they belong in general chat

Celebrity news belongs in the celebrity news section also, which can be found here

This thread is neither a serious debate or a news story

I don't see why people need to post that nonsense anyway. I don't care if a small child befriended a penguin and together they brainstormed a cancer vaccine whilst trapped in a lift.

Can I also add that news about celebrities goes in this forum http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...splay.php?f=68.

Seems to have been a little confusion about this earlier that I have only just seen.

If a kangaroo is caught making crop circles on SkyNews HD, then it belongs here!
