Admins, Any chance of creating a temporary forum for just the 2024 elections?

The "General Discussion Forum" has become awash with 2024 Election posts; with news articles, videos, podcasts, editorials, etc all about the 2024 election. As much as I appreciate all the posts, I can't begin to wade through 3-4 pages of postings just in the morning, and then again in the evening. Many of them repeating information because it's too tedious for posters to go back a couple off pages to see if someone already posted the article in the morning. The Forum is no longer General Discussion, it's "Election 2024"

With all the election postings, we are missing information on the Ukraine advancement, the FBI raids US home of the Russian-born analyst, Elon Musk news etc. Even in "Latest Breaking News" non election news items are getting buried.

I seem to remember in past election years we did have a separate forum for Election related posts. I could be wrong, but even if we didn't have one before, can we please have one now.

When this is all over, and President Harris is in office and Trump is up for more trials and sentencing and the volume of posts continue to be extraordinary, you may want to set a forum up just to cover Presidential Politics, or some other title because I think the drama of both subjects will continue well into 2025.

You guys do great work, my suggestions may be foolish, but I have to try. It's just becoming overwhelming.
Thank you for your consideration.
