Or you can stop worrying about whether to use one topic or two, and just use an announcement on the home page itself like was initially suggested. A lot of people aren't going to pay attention to if there is a new post in the news section (especially when this thread is almost definitely going to hide the actual update thread as latest post). They [i]will[/i] pay attention to a big announcement box in their face (such as when it said "guild is having difficulties etc" before the rewrite).

I'm in favor of putting updates on the home page like we used to. Though, I would also make the box able to be X'd out of, so it won't clutter the space if already read.
