Spark,

What are the chances / drawbacks of enabling RSS or XML syndication on Bladeforums - as indicated in the FAQ

The reason for my asking is that I like to have BF.C open when I'm at work. If RSS/XML were enabled then I (or whomever) can build a reader that checks the RSS/XML feed (very low bandwith, no pics). I can then see the top 15 posts - per forum or per site - and therefore don't have to click on the New Posts link as often ;) This also makes reading BF.C on a PDA more interesting.

If anyone is interested, I could also make the apps (PC / PocketPC) available to BF.C members, free of charge.

From what I have seen, the default update frequency is about an hour, so syndication probably doesn't tax the system resources.

I dunno, I'll have to research it if I ever have a few minutes free.
 
I would be interested as well. If you don't take advantage of RSS support in Firefox and other browsers, you should really try it. It's great for news sites to see the latest headlines.
