It kind of makes sense. I'm just concerned about the content that gets published there, and whether it would be considered boring, and then the project is just abandoned because it didn't work out. The thing is I've seen some useful content get suggested, but honestly we need exciting content which is going to draw new users in, and not necessarily help those that are part of the community at the moment. It's definitely something that we can do, but it just depends on the angle theymos is taking, and what his motives are. If its to drive more traffic then the content needs to be exciting, and I think a news outlet would be the better option, and then showing unique discussion of this news on the forum.

Probably just need a public thread for posting quality content to showcase. You wouldn't need to hire people to research for you as I'm sure the community as a whole will be more than willing to help.
