Since the last big forum upgrade a couple weeks ago (3.6.0), there was a new feature added, the ability to snag RSS Feeds and post them on our forums.
Well.. I'm giving this a shot. Right now for a test run, I created a CNN Top Stories forum, and created a CNN RSS user account to post new top stories as they come in (it checks every 10 minutes). You can click the link at the bottom of the post to read the full story, then comment on it like like a normal thread.
Don't be mad that I chose CNN. I personally prefer it, and I know some of you personally prefer FoxNEWS. This is just a test run.
If this works out, and you guys like it, I can make it a generic RSS Feed forum, and add other stuff, like Feeds from game companies or other websites around the internet.
Let me know what you guys think...

What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, such as CNN.com, including headlines, summaries, links to full stories.
