The forum was created(if I am not mistaken) because people kept wanting to discuss terrorist attacks, random news article and such and such. Some people complained that it flooded EoEO and it did but the flow was never going to stay THAT high to warrent its own forum and I think that is the case now for the most part. It is like the Xenogears board. It just isn't ment to be.

I never liked that World Events was created and I still don't. I don't see why the occasional new article has to be dicussed there. The only time it is really bad for any forum is usually once every two years(US elections) and when something big happens like the London Bombings, Iraq invasion or 9/11/2001. Outside of that the forum is usually pretty dead.
