I've just noticed:

Where can I find the RSS feed?
The administrator may have enabled RSS syndication, this allows you to view newly created threads in guest viewable forums without visiting the board.

The feeds are currently provided in two formats, RSS and RSS v2. The differences are as follows:

RSS 0.91 - This feed is based on a standard written by netscape and provides a link and the title of the thread.
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/external.php?type=rss
RSS 2.0 - This feed contains title, author, date and the contents of the first post of the thread.
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/external.php?type=rss2

So why not?
It will be great for all of us I think.

why do you need it? all it will do is cause much more stress on the server with sites pulling info from it

ya think GFY is slow now, wait till that gets turned on and everybody and their mother is pulling information from it

StarkReality · 01-19-2007, 04:12 AM

Plus, some people will just pull it for scraper sites...loads of traffic, zero value

leming · 01-19-2007, 04:12 AM

I think server will be less stressed, when forum users will receive posts in rss feed. RSS can be filtered (without pics). Just a text will not make a stress.

cardinalvices · 01-19-2007, 04:20 AM

Then how do we deliver our sigs through RSS?

leming · 01-19-2007, 04:23 AM

Okay

Semi-filtered

Sigs can be unfiltered

leming · 01-19-2007, 05:22 AM

The RSS xml file can be cached, which would cause almost no load on the servers. vBulletin is incredibly database intensive, so if enough people used the RSS feed it may actually reduce load overall.

The other side of the coin; less people on the site, less on-site adviews and page views, etc. I'm sure lensman doesn't want to lower the advertising metrics of GFY.

Yeah - you can put ads in the RSS feeds, but that still doesn't translate to page views on the site..

It'll never happen.

ready lube · 01-19-2007, 06:55 AM

I don't see it happening

leming · 01-19-2007, 07:02 AM

He-he...
Close da thread then

peedy · 03-07-2007, 10:37 PM

I would like to see RSS Feeds for the board. I use a reader to keep up with other boards and it makes it super easy when they can all be in one place and you can do searches on the feeds themselves.
