Add Automotive News and Articles To your Forums

If you ever wanted to offer your users more content on your site then this is the mod for you. Your users can browse the titles they like to see and they'll keep coming back to your site because of the quality content.

This mod uses RSS feeds and while not a very technical mod, it's something that most webmasters are not taking advantage of.
