    Do You Syndicate?

    After fixing the podcast stuff, I found that using vBulletin for the Podcast feed is impractical. For one, the podcast feed is just like any other RSS feed on this board, but with more tags for iTunes, so it adheres to the same rules of how much is displayed and when content expires. Secondly, those rules only allow up to 30 days of content (at a bi-weekly schedule, only 2 episodes would show at a time).

    So we'll be moving the Podacity feed to a third-party provider (jcap seems to know what he's doing). I was considering turning off RSS entirely, but before I do, I want to know if people use RSS on this site for things besides the podcast.

    I would use RSS for other things if I could subscribe to specific threads.

    To answer the poll: No.

    As for the Podacity feed, I still have my RSS, so we could just host that in the same place as the mp3's.

    I don't even know what RSS is let alone use it.
    If its those things that pop up on the tool bar telling me a new reply has been made or other kind of news then no i still wouldnt use.
    And for that matter i dont even listen to the podcasts.
    From what ive heard from other members the podcasts are usualy just filled with people talking about other users and how they put a funny picture in a topic which really dosnt interest me in the slightest.

    I just subscribed. Answered the poll early in the morning, so my answer has changed. I don't normally use RSS, but I've decided to put Thunderbird Shredder to its full potential (as I use it for two mail accounts and a newsgroup already).

    I don't really know what you can do with RSS on this site. I don't use RSS much anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

    You could google "RSS" and get your answer in the time it took you to make that post.

    The only thing I have RSS on is the TF2 blog.
    I prefer just clicking through the boards, I'm something of an addict actually.
