VA Tech Shooting - Thoughts Go Out to 401/VT

[Nate Laverdure]

"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?

I was shocked to find out when I heard about this in the morning and everyone that I know there is safe. This is scary because I was on campus and in that building on Thursday as the school is one of the colleges I would love to go to. My thoughts go out to those that died and their families.
