Suggestions: TEMPORARY War with Iraq Forum?

You've done this before for certain events (Wasn't there one for Star Wars or something?).

<B>This is different from suggestions of a full political forum.</B>

In these times there is constant breaking news on the situation in iraq that people want to post about. So much that it doesnt' make sense to simply have a "War with Iraq" thread. There are way too many issues involved for that.

I personally think it would be great, not to unclutter "other" by any means but just as a way to get the full picture and breaking news, to have a temporary War with Iraq forum. That way people can discuss all the various issues in a more organized fashion, without so many duplicate threads on related topics, etc in other.

Not sure how difficult it is to add, just a suggestion.

I think it's a great idea. Other boards I frequent added them, and it makes it much easier to find topics you're interested in.

The sad thing is I tried my darndest to post this in the feedback forum and here it is in other.

<font size=1>At least my grandma didnt' fall down again in the sports forum.</font>

Sorry. Any way, I think it would be a great thing to have. I'd rather go to a War With Iraq forum HERE than cnn.com because we're more up-to-speed than any news agency around here any way

<B>Edit:</B> Thanks for moving.

WTF??? Me and Scorcho have been harping about this in the political thread. I was the first one to bring it up (my suggestion to Geoff after he declined the idea ofa political forum).

An evil hippo is heading your way.

Be afraid.

That's cool. Good call. What about a war forum if one breaks out? There will be a *ton* of info coming in when it happens, maybe more than a presidential election.

I don't care who thought of what. I'm not asking for some "idea prize." I just suggested a "War With Iraq" forum temporarily.
