Cram everything into a small package? o_O
Um, what do you think an entire forum is for? There are plenty of places to post about the latest news... There are threads in
Pokémon General, or simply looking in the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (DS). Hey, you can even find the
Pocket Monsters Platinum speculation stickie, and usually any brand new Pokémon Platinum news goes in there.
Ultimately, a single thread to post the latest news about everything would be redundant, because that's what a forum section and multiple threads are for. Individual threads to discuss such. Basically, the way a forum works counters your suggestion. A single thread for all the latest news would become utter chaos and clutter, to be honest. ._.; It'd simply be organized to have individual threads for individual news.
If there's brand new headline news, put the thread in the
proper forum, but make sure you check out the stickies before posting it. (i.e they may have overall news threads like I previously linked) Also, be sure to search whatever forum the topic is first because someone might have already posted the news/story. :)
In case my point doesn't come across clearly...
Example:
"New feature in Platinum!" Goes in the speculation stickie.
"New Pokémon clothing line for adults!" Goes in Pokémon General.
"A new event in D/P!" Goes in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (DS)
Instead of being crammed all in one thread, like your suggestion, it goes in new different threads in the correct forum. Understand?
Well, that's my take on the matter. Have a nice day.
