imho forums were made for reactions.. not news articles..
Plus, it could be made in a way that when the first reaction is created, it will open a topic for it. That way you won't get empty threads.
Anyway, if you keep whacking people for posting something newsworthy in a forum instead of through the newssubmit, I'd think that people will eventually refrain from posting it at all..
That way you won't get empty threads. Just a lot of threads with 1 or 2 reactions, including those where the only reaction is a typo notification or one single smiley..
btw, I'm not *whacking*, I'm suggesting a newssubmit because *we*, being this website, feel news belongs to the frontpage and reactions to such a newspost belongs to that newspost -on the frontpage-.
This has -btw- been suggested earlier as well without problems.
A lot of people showed up:
They were also at Madrid some days ago, but the event was only for the press. Here are some articles (in Spanish):

that's the thing about autographs, whether it's Western or Japanese, it's all the same amount of odd curves ..
Did you see more msx games there?
Haha, true about the autographs. Too bad some people only use them to make money though :X
There were quite some MSX games there actually. Most of them SD Snatcher (a lot of those!) and Solid Snake. Did get a lot of nice reactions about my old MSX games :D
