Josh, I wanted to post this here but was stuck on where to post it at. Any chance you can include "Other Sim News" forum section or something on that line for news on "The Sims Carnival", "MySims" and any other games/spinoffs?
I've actually been mulling on a general entertainment news area but I haven't figured out where to put it.
