I think i speak for most of our beloved facepunchers that news node has become the most boring news section ever.
It's time we got some new news bots, the current one's are useless, HL fallout barely posts anything anymore and is usually late, RPS never posts anything really of interest, although all the articles are very well written, the Steam bot is somewhat necessary.
Ever since CS Nation was removed, News Node has become boring, i'm trying to find a reason to go there and almost every time i'm somewhat disappointed. I go to zips website and there's all these cool news and shit, and facepunch is missing out.
And please don't give me the "If you like it so much, go to their website instead" argument, then why not remove all bots and go their respective websites? :downs:
Anyways, News Node needs an overhaul, either bringing back CSN, or replacing it with HL Fallout, or adding other news websites like Kotaku, etc..
Replace HLFallout with CS Nation
Problem solved.
And what are you talking about? The RPS bot posts great articles.
I miss CSN, they had some of the better news in that section...

Sometimes yes, most of the time, no.

Indeed.
Bring back CS Nation, remove HL Fallout. Thats all I can think of
Maybe remove threads starting with 'Railworks'

Don't get me wrong but most of them are unnecessary.
As i said, the article writer writes really really well though.
But the news titles could be different as they sometimes turn confusing.
EDIT: Basically i prefer articles that are straight to the point.
CSN has been removed? Why?
Zips trolled FP in one his threads, people got butthurt.
Boohoo.
A lot of people are pissy about what Zips did. I don't really care what he did, I just want his news back.
I agree, CSN was awesome, and i never even bother to look at HLF since it is always late/not interesting.
I bet if CSN was brought back there'd be constant "boo hoo my ex is a whore" news being made like he keeps posting on his twitter.

No he didnt, he trolled his own userbase, and they didnt mind, as far as I know, he has no controll over which newsposts on his site get posted here aswell, seeing as its a news [b]bot[/b]
Way to go comparing a social networking website with a gaming news website :downs:

Yes, but he knew what he was doing.
no dont take away hlfallout, i love them!
:barf:
It's funny that lots of people were bitching for Zip's news node to be removed, and now that it is, everyone's sad.
I think CSNation should come back as well.
I don't care much for zip's news. He usually just posts what the steambot posts with some of his own comments, so they're usually late. He rarely posts anything that we don't already know about.
The RPS bot is great. I love reading the articles.
HLFallout is useless. There's RARELY any "news" and the bot is late 90% of the time, not just by hours, but by days.
I say remove HLFallout, and don't bring back zips either.

RPS is alright for articles but it's all opinionated writing and is rarely of interest to the majority of the gaming crowd.
Why would you remove HL Fallout and not replace it with something? Having RPS be the only news bot would be retarded.
How about a news bot that makes an announcement every time a post is made on FP. :downs:
We could remove the HLFallout bot and possibly the ModDB one.
It was foolish to remove CSN
I really would like someone on the admin team to say something about this

What are you talking about we need an exclusive railworks bot
[QUOTE=Bengley;22318797]What are you talking about we need an exclusive railworks bot[/QUOTE]
How else will I receive news of my favorite game!
We need a JBMod newsbot.

*cough*
Death to hlfallout
I've got nothing against HLfallout or the people that run it but when it comes to news they suck hard.
Not only is it late, it usually sucks.
Zips may have been trolling threads recently and acting like a prick since CSN went but at the end of the day he got great news. Even if 99% of the time he was just copying news from Kotaku and Steam and was lucky enough to have a faster bot.
I miss CSNation. :(
