    I don't think beanies are news...

    OK... I'm not trolling and not tring to make a big deal about this.. but don't you guys think we should only have P2P News in the news section? I think we need to get serous about the news section on the main page. It is far below where it once was. Tons of stories get missed, stuff that isn't really p2p news gets posted (tech related but not p2p news) and then stuff like that beanie post a few days ago by jorge ends up on it. I don't really have any beef with Jorge selling t-shirts or beanies..but keep it out of the p2p news ..just my oppion and not gonna make a huge deal out it. But what do you guys think?

    It's his site so he can do what he wants.

    The only thing I have a problem with is the closing of news threads because they are on the front page too. The news comment crowd is and will always be a bit different from the forum crowd.

    Beanies aren't news, but free ones are.

    If it keeps the site going I could care less...every site needs to make money to cover costs and beer.

    i think since this is his site he can do whatever he wants.selling beanies and t-shirts help keep this site alive,so i have no problem with it.

    then maybe the title of that section should be changed to just news..not p2p news..if stuff that has nothing at all to do with p2p news..maybe it should just be site news or something..

    I say keep it on there. I am always coming to the site to read news, but I like to see that there's different things in the news besides just p2p. I also don't think it's a big deal and should just stay.

    Seriously it doesnt bother me if it helps provide a site to come to. As long as it isnt too overwhelming.

    I think the real issue are those automatic links in the news stories. They had better be generating a lot of income for us to all be putting up with such an annoyance.
