What do you guys think about having one? Would any of you post there if such board would exist? Do you think it would be a nice addition or a pointless board to the forums?
Discuss.

Using the same logic one could say that such boards as Movies & Television, Games, Comics, Anime and Manga and possibly a few more are not necessary because we have the Discussion board.

I would be happy if there was a board where you could see events and make them.

I think discussion is fine for those topics.

I'd honestly be in favor of merging boards instead of adding boards. I like forums when they are just one big forum where you can talk about anything. 
Though I'm probably the only one in favor of that.

I wouldn't mind as long as the discussion is on-topic and relevant.

The best way to deal with your problems is to plant a C4 in close proximity to it.

Sounds good. We can have all the sad news and good debates in one place.

Isin't that what the Discussion board is mostly for? - discussing current news/events?
But i guess it wouldn't hurt to have a board of it's own...

Maybe we could have a child board off the discussion board for this?

I think this can work out better than making a whole new board,we could just keep it inside Discussion as a CB.

My opinions:

1. People tend to visit child boards way less often than primary boards.
2. Discussion board is a perfect place for this as I think any topic in the news board would be worth a discussion.
3. If every other board covers unique topics, what's left for the regular discussion board?

Every time you download Garry's Mod illegally, Garry makes a bug.

When people ask me "Plz" because its shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because its shorter than "Yes".

I don't really see the need for another board, the forum is good as it is
Also we have the discussion board :3
