As the person, who proposed a current affairs forum, I apologise. This is nothing like I meant.

"There has been a lot of discussion about the closing of threads in AH & moving them to Politics.

Some people are saying that AH is losing it's purpose as lots of current affairs items get posted there.

So how about a current affairs section in AH ? The Mods could easily move the rape, 8th amendment, etc threads to the Current Affairs section."

How is this different to your idea?

Hopefully not but it won't achieve the original objective of freeing up After Hours for lighthearted discussion.

Right, looks like we’re off to a great start here. In order to keep heads cool, I’m going to close this thread and ask that all feedback is directed into the Feedback forum.

Thanks
