I've been thinking of starting a new venture: a 667 Dark Avenue daily, to be called The 667 Times. We'd have real news items and headlines, not regular columns. And it'd be published everyday at about this time. So, what do you think? Stupid idea? Good idea? Am I becoming super greedy? Am I insane?
EDIT: I just noitced I wrote 'Shoud' instead of 'Should'. D:

Possibly. But maybe not Daily, that would be almost impossible

Real news as in world news? Or as in 667 news?
If it's the former, I say yes; if the latter, I say no, because I doubt there'd be enough information and I think it could take away from the 667er.

I don't think it'd take away from The 667er, actually, because The 667er doesn't actually report on news. It just contains opinionated columns in a set weekly format. This would have different formats relating to the news of each day, and probably a reporter for each board/forum.

So would this take the place of your newsline, then?
I think it's overambitious and destined for failure. You have enough on your hands, I think, and also, I still believe there wouldn't be enough news for a daily paper.

Akbar, don't be ridiculous. You're stretching yourself too thin. Sure, the 667er is a good idea. But we really don't need a daily newpaper. *e-slap* You're starting to get power hungry; snap OUTTA it! You're EVERYWHERE on this forum. We might as well rename it Akbar's Forum. Don't do it.

I agree with twistedbrain, you're stretching yourself too thin. Unless you plan on doing all of the article by yourself, then I seriously doubt that you are going to get enough dedicated members to do a daily article. You have a hard enough time getting your columnists for The 667er to get their articles in every week. Quit while you're still ahead, darling.

We don't need a daily newspaper. All the news can be read in one 'The 667er' and not much can happen in one day.
Deadlines would never be met for a daily newspaper, since some members don't come on every single day. With the weekly 667er, people have more time to do an article.
People probably wouldn't read it every day. There's so much material on Dark Avenue to read already that it would waste space because people wouldn't have too much time to read it.

You are too greedy. 667 doesn't belong to you!
Five and a half words: We don't have enough news.
