Splitting News and Announcements

[san00b]

In order to keep control of homepage news, the News and Announcements forum has been split into two.

The exact criteria of what will be posted where is something to be determined, but it's essentially this:

Things relevant to the community and people outside the community go in News.

Things relevant to the community only go Announcements (server voting, for example).

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Sounds like people like to comment on things just to say something...

To me, it doesn't look like there is really much that goes into the 'Announcements' section, as most of our news also pertains to people who are 'guests' to the community. Also, any server-specific news belongs in it's server section.

I propose that we set up a 'voting hub' on the website:
http://blocktopia.net/voting.php
(Doesn't have to be linked on one of the tab things at the top)

That would just be updated with the links every week. It makes more sense.

Actually, I'd say 80 % roughly would go into announcements. The only regular news for the news section would be event days.

Well... from what I've seen now, the news section is broadcasted on the homepage.

So why wouldn't you want to put most of the news there? Server Voting, I understand doesn't need to be shown there, but what else!?!?

announcements as to why certain bans where made, reprimands / warnings, etc, none of that are actual front page news. and they did make up the bulk of the announcements.
