    Hi everyone!!!!

    We are going to test run a new news system to see how it goes!! what we intend doing is posting news from the tech world/websites in this board!

    why so radical?

    Well this ensures the front page of BiT contains our content while allowing websites from around the world to have more coverage in our forums and allowing people to activly discuss the news items!!! Watch other sites follow this new(s) trend ;)

    Only BiT-Staff may post news (as it's only a trial)

    nice idea Koolvin!

    I can see this working to a certain extent with it being a fairly busy forum. It wouldn't work on smaller sites too well, but it should also encourage some more people to join the forums :D

    An idea for the front page, a link direct straight to this forum, so users looking for external news don't have to look too hard :dude:

    hehe great idea, now you can keep other sites happy while keeping the front page as it should be - full of bit tech stuff :D

    good idea, BiT's busy enough as it is. the front page would get kinda cluttered otherwise.
