I did a quick search, and didnt see that anyone really suggested something like this yet...
Has anyone thought of creating a news aggregation 'bot' for Snitz Forums? It would go out to entered RSS feeds, download content, and post each new entry into the forum. Vbullitin already has something like this - called the RSS News Feed Hack. (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63798)<

I have indeed - more than a few times - and I couldnt find anything like this. There was a 'newsletter' MOD, but that's completely different from what Im talking about here.
Am I missing something there?<

Don`t know exactly how it works, but maybe the RSS 2.0 Feed MOD by MarcelG could be extended to do what you want<

Negative ghostrider - thats for publishing a form into RSS form. What I'm looking to do does more or less the exact opposite. (takes an RSS feed and publishes it to the forum)<
