VirtualStranger:
With the elections coming up, there are going to be a lot of news stories about it in the coming months. Right now, a large portion of the politics subforum is flooded with individual threads about dozens of different news articles and stories about it, most of which aren't really big or important enough to warrant their own threads.  Currently, on the front page of that subforum, 15 out of 25 threads are election related. I think it would be prudent to create an "Election 2012 Megathread" as a place to put all of it, and to direct users to post their updates there instead of making a new thread.

Radiation:
Or perhaps make a child board that only deals with election 2012 news and updates rather than a megathread because election seasons have many variations and details that are different each time and to have a megathread would probably be more confusing and daunting to read.

Cerim Treascair:
For once, I'm in agreement.  It'd be useful.

I agree, some sort of temporary subforum would reduce the clutter of the main Politics & Gov't board.

RavynousHunter:
Well, we could just make a general "Election Shit" subforum, so we don't have to bother with remaking it every time.  Granted, its once every four years, but still.
