You do realize that you can view just news articles, right? I am fine with people using the blogger’s and chat. If the powers that be didn’t want them, they wouldn’t have those categories. Frankly, with the media being as piss poor as it is, it takes the average Joe citizen to find the real news.

As for ‘the “new”’, I’ve been here since 88(changed my name in 2001 which is why the date there) and it has always had stories from non traditional outlets. True, ‘blogs’ have picked up more in the past few years, but I attribute that to the fact that more people blog now, back in 88, the concept wasn’t even coined and very few people had vanity sites to post their own thoughts outside places like this.

FR evolves with the Internet, but it is still the same FR.

Please explain how. Does it stick after you set it?

Agree, FR is still the best,by far.
