    Good grief, there are in total 1357 articles, that would take the rest of the day at least

    Agreed, that's mad talk.

    Pick one word which describes each article and post it, at the head of the article, in an appropriate colour.
    You do not need to see my I.D.

    Some just don't interest me, but still qualify to be posted...Like the Looming Italy crackdown. I don't live in Italy... I have tried to relate articles that are similar (again like the Italy crackdown) and have tried doing followups such as the *.ani cursor exploit (from when it was discovered to its M$ approved fix).

    Trust me, I think the News Section has been increasing in popularity a bit and I've tried to make it more than a "Copy&Paste" post, but time is the issue. Hell, it took me just over an hour to write the SP3 thing - school work comes first tho'. So...Bear with us.

    And it's not like we're getting paid, I just do it for the orange stars fun since I try to keep up with the news anyways...particularly p2p news.

    Indeed, time is the biggest constraint. It takes me about an hour just to go through the websites I visit every lunchtime and transfer a few of the interesting stories across to here. I have a job you know. Sure I could post them somewhere else but I like to read through the other threads here as well. Hell, if was writing my own articles and doing this full time I would working for the BBC!

    You might as well save yourself the effort of copying and pasting it across, just leave it at posting a link.
    You and every other nub on the internets.
