That's an interesting question. I can see why you'd set it up the way that it is, so that each new entry of news goes to the beginning and any comments that follow don't change the order. On the other hand, with each news item, a discussion follows about issues and bugs experienced, as well as, with emulators anyway, what games work or don't work.
So I guess the questions are, Should it just take the form of the other threads? Should we have a separate place specifically for the ensuing discussions of new software releases? If so, what's the best way to go about linking a news release about a new software item or update to the related discussion thread?
It's probably worth discussing a bit to see what seems to be the best course of action, if any, to take.
