Thats not a bad idea Neil, perhaps a Current Affairs forum would work well.. To be honest, server resources are not a worry, what is a worry is that cutting and pasting straight articles from news websites is illegal. Copyright law allows you to quote the news story and then add a link to the full story. It is better to just copy the opening paragraph then place a link and then place your own comments, thus starting the thread in a legal non wasting way and anyone who wants to read the full story can click the link. I myself have found some of the news threads interesting as I don't play on the news websites and it is a waste of time buying a Russian newspaper!
