So I've been filling Thunderbird with RSS Feeds... I now have VotR, Neocronicle, nc.syn, SXR Forums... does the NC Forum have a feed hidden anywhere? :D

Indeed it does - well the THN (www.techhaven.org) uses it...

This is the URL that the THN uses.

http://forum.neocron.com/external.php?type=RSS2 - Except that it brings back the German content as well.

Hmm been trying to get the English community talk channel to come up (Forum ID 2) and it will not come up.

Think I know why it won't come up, it's a members only channel. We can only see it if we are paying for the game!

Hiding the English community talk channel from RSS feed sort of defeats the point of having an RSS feed. :rolleyes:

Shouldn't us paying morons be able to use the feed then?

When he's linking from THN, THN doesn't count as a paying customer if you get me... It'd be too easy for non sunscribers to get around.

I see you point of view Spermy. I'll point out the Forum RSS feed (http://www.techhaven.org/component/option,com_newsfeeds/task,view/feedid,1/Itemid,26/) only shows the first post in a thread.

At the end of the day you want someone to see a new thread in the community talk and go, "ohh that looks interesting" and then click, and join in the discussion if they have paid of course!

If they can't see the topic, there is less chance of people joining in the discussio, or people returning to the game when they see a thread titled "OMFG KK have fixed PPU's SEX 101010 FTW" ;)
