RSS Feed Request

[jupitervast]

Hey Ray, I know others have requested an RSS feed in the past, for this site, but I thought I'd make a new request for 2007. Please create an RSS feed for the fourm. I would love to keep up with the forum via my RSS reader, like I do for many other websites. If you need assistance, I'll be glad to lend some support on the technical side if necessary.

Here is a link to the Wiki definition of RSS, for those who have no idea what RSS is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)

Doesn't that little box in the upper left hand corner of the home page do about the same thing? I use it all the time to keep up with all the drama

Let me try to summarize....Using a RSS reader (such as Google Reader, SharpReader, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a plethora of other programs), you can read feeds (or summaries of updated information on a site). For example, anytime a new post is made to the forum, a feed would be generated, and sent to everyone subscribed to the feed in question. The feed would likely contain a title and summary of the post, which can be read from within your RSS reader, so you don't have to visit the site to stay updated on recent posts.

Why bother with this RSS crap you may ask? Well if you are trying to stay updated with the current info from numerous websites, you can subscribe to each website's feed and read the updated info from all sites in one place. This is helpful if you don't have time to check numerous websites for updates throughout the day. Does this make sense?

[rhunt]

yes that makes sense. carry on

If you need to be that up to the minute with this site...... i guess masturbation has gotten old.

If I didn't HAVE to waste time checking the few sites I watch individually, I wouldn't look busy at work. I would also be so bored I'd probably throw myself off the building. RSS feed? No. That's too fast. Send me, um....... a letter.
