Rename 'Breaking News' ... ?


Recommended Posts

Wouldn't it be better to call Breaking News, 'Breaking Tech News' ?

I've noticed several times, stories that aren't Technical or Computer related get posted there.

'Breaking Tech News' might save some confusion.

I agree with this completely. I know it seems a given as this is a technology related forum, but as there are boards for everything here, then it makes sense for the name to be changed. I don't like abreviations like "tech." though, so "Breaking Technology News" would be better.

I don't think the "Breaking" needs to be in there at all. More often than not the articles posted there are a few hours old and the story isn't going to develop any further, so it's not 'breaking' news at all.

I always thought Back Page News was a good name for it...

+1. I couldn't have said it any better myself, great suggestion. :)

Why "Back Page News"?

What does that even mean? I hate that name (probably because I don't know what it means lol).

What's wrong with "Technology News"? That sounds more professional & after all, that's what it is.

It's news that (usually) doesn't make the front page :p I guess you could call it "2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th... ∞th Page News" but it doesn't have the same ring to it imo :whistle:

Ohhh! Of course! :blush:

Lol. That makes sense! :D

I've not really looked at that forum much, ya see lol. I just go on the Front Page or use my RSS feeds.

Does it not have any Front Page stories in there then? If not, "Back Page News" sounds better than "Technology News" :)

Sorry -- Back Page News sounds like a ton of boring. :sleep:

Title should at least have some form of Tech in it, since that's the main type of posts they want there.

I think a good deal of people still referred to the Breaking News section as BPN in posts. Easy abbreviation to remember.

Now it's back the way it was. :)

I think Breaking Tech News (or even just Tech News) would be good, and would keep it from getting confused with the Real World News section. :)

It was change, live with it. They can't be changing names back and forth.

Sorry? It was changed back to what people asked for... so what do you mean?

Honestly, your posts really dont make much sense or seem to ahve any connection to the threads a lot of the time :s
