I've overhauled the way news and announcements are posted so that it is more intuitive and less troublesome to promote things to being news.
So, may I introduce two new forums:
In both cases, the posting of new threads is limited to selected usergroups, specifically the new THN Journalists and THN CoD4 Journalists groups (oh, and some permissions for Super Mods and Admins too, IIRC).
This is good because it no longer relies on a tag or restricting use of that tag, which wasn't very robust, and it means we can "promote" threads to being news articles simply by moving them into the right forum.
The Hub now reflects only news posts in the main bit and the new (though still under construction) CoD4 site reflects posts to the CoD4 News section.
