No News is Bad News? Options

[spoon]

Looking at the news section there seems to have been only 4 news entries in the last 6 months!, go back 5 years and it was one a week, codecs were being updated and invented. Has the audio scene really slowed down that much? programs such as WMP and iTunes dumbed down innovation?

PS this is a personal enquiry and not related to dbpoweramp in any way.

Any news submissions not deemed worthy for validated news are moved to other appropriate forums. A link to the new location is usually left behind for about a month and then removed. By "deemed worthy" they need to meet the requirements defined in the topic that is pinned to the top of the forum and if it is software it must be a major, non-beta release. Personally, I typically only validate software that is either well-known, or has been previously discussed on this forum, indicating that there is interest. Software that is brand new to this forum is moved to the most appropriate forum, provided the person submitting appears to be clear of TOS #14.

Without going too far into defining policy, I welcome any and all feedback on what should be and what should not be in Validated News. Please realize that I am only a moderator and ultimately defer to those on the administration staff regarding such matters.
