"Chit-Chat" is a little belittling for this topic. I wish there was some other place we could hold this discussion. I just did a quick search, and all the 9/11 threads ended up in "Chit-Chat" too. I think that this forum label trivializes the important things being talked about here.

I don't know what you would call it (or where it would be placed, or who would moderate it, or what would be allowed to be posted in it, etc.), but I think we need a new place to talk about national and international events that occur beyond the scope of FIRST, but will most definitely have a profound effect on the FIRST community nonetheless.

Or if this change can't be made, can we at least put this thread (or some type of announcement) somewhere that would appear in the standard portal?
