In our Discourse we have a lot of need to post announcements that are unlikely to generator discussion. (“Hey, heads up. This upcoming deadline is coming up!” That sort of thing.)

I feel bad about strewing the forum with one post topics, but I’m not sure how else to tackle this need.

How do you handle announcements on your sites?
